15067,Deprecate exiting admin menu functions and add new ones that accept an $args parameter instead,mikeschinkel,,"Compared to the many  other APIs that accept `$args` the admin menu functions (`add_menu_page()`, `add_submenu_page()`,  etc.) are less accessible because of the 6 and 7 ordinal parameters are hard to remember and easy to get wrong.

Suggestion is to deprecate those functions and replace with functional equivalents that use an $args array.  Since the functions are for admin menus but the names of the functions appear to be generic, we could easily name these proposed functions `add_admin_menu_page()` and `add_admin_submenu_page()`.
