Description
Problem: I want to build my own admin with JS or an actual templating engine, how do I get the default menu data?
wp-admin/menu.php is a maze of tuples, (ambiguous) globals,and uninitialized arrays. Not a lot is happening in this file, but you wouldn't know it because of how complicated it all looks. Also problematic: all of this code is top-level and inline, so it is not repeatable or portable.
There are other pieces to this, but to start, I have overhauled the code in wp-admin/menu.php by encapsulating it in a class, WP_Admin_Menu.

I don't have the stomach for this right now. The impetus for doing it is to expose the data in a REST endpoint. 4.4 won't have endpoints. Even so, may not be super useful. We'll see later.
Interesting idea to build own admin.
