No API to set a nav menu location

[dd32]

We've got an API to retrieve the nav menu locations - get_nav_menu_locations() however, there's nothing (as far as I can tell) to set a theme location, either singularly or for all menu's.

We should probably have a method that can be used to set a single theme locations menu, and one to bulk-set.

For reference, the admin pages currently all call set_theme_mod( 'nav_menu_locations', $locations ); directly.

It's true... I wonder if this was intentional or just an oversight.

Let's leave it as Awaiting Review til there's a patch ;)

Isn't Awaiting Review the milestone for tickets that have not been triaged, which either go to Future Release (meaning yes we should do this at some point) or close?

[DrewAPicture]

Awaiting Review doesn't really have a good meaning, which is part of the big problem with a needs-based workflow rather than a status-based one.

I would probably never mark something future release without a patch. The point is that there are good ideas, and then there are good ideas with patches awaiting review. I would tend to give preference to the latter for "punting".
