You may or may not be right. It is not important in this case.

We can just let Arthur try and help him in the process.

If he manages to go through all the obstacles and develop something
equivalent to our existing menus (no need for anything more powerful or
"generic"), we can use it.

Let's not discourage him by imaginary difficulties, which may or may not
appear.

At the end, our existing menu code combined is not even that large. So,
developing equivalent should not be prohibitively hard. (I am not
talking about full-fledged menu library here. Arthur clearly stated that
it is not his intention).

Best,
Ihor
