Ah, yes.

I guess then that you can simply add a new line to you plugin file such
as:

$menu[21] = array('My Stuff', 8, 'my-stuff.php');

..to add a menu "My Stuff" between the Links and Users options for user
levels 8 and higher, that links to my-stuff.php.

Can we possibly have a similar option for the Options page submenu?

By and by, rather than include it in the loop:
if (<should_add_upload_option_to_menu>) $menu[45] = array(...);

Wouldn't you just lose the menu options that had been inserted by
plugins?

I'm not a big fan of adding more menu options for plugins, but I'm even
less of a fan of modifying the menu code when they're needed.  :)
