I'd like to use options for these. Like this:

entry --label="gnu" --key="g" "GNU 0.3" {
  root=(hd0,0)
  multiboot /gnumach
  module /serverboot
}

They should be the same as Bash:

function load_modules {
  module /boot/module1
  module /boot/module2
}

entry "My OS version 1" {
  multiboot /boot/kernel-1
  load_modules
}

entry "My OS version 2" {
  multiboot /boot/kernel-2
  load_modules
}
