function to add separator

[cfoellmann]

added the function add_menu_separator( $position ).

Usage:

add_action('admin_menu', 'separator');

function separator() {
   add_menu_separator(61);
}

Adds a separator after 'Appearance'. - Just an example.

add_menu_separator function

Adding menu separators, just not after Appearance, in the admin area is really up to the user. The user can just add this function to their functions.php, provided they are working with a child theme. Here's a concrete example of how someone can do this in the form of a screenshot.

Your comment is not really related to my core patch. The function complements the set of functions allowing developer to manipulate the admin_menu.
Your code just adds some css colors. It doesn't allow for adding new separators into the $menu object.

Function needs some inline docs improvements.

Based on the lack of traction and the fact that it's not being done in either a large redesign or as part of simplifying how core works, I think this should be closed as maybelater.
