 If you create a top level menu and then a submenu page under it, a submenu
 page with the title of the top level menu is automatically created as the
 first tab. It'd be nice if this submenu's title could differ from that of
 top level menu (like the official menus do with "Options > General").

 I was thinking a good way to do this would be to have the ability of
 `add_menu_page()`'s title vars to be arrays. However, I've discovered that
 the submenu is automatically created when the 2nd submenu is added, not
 when the top level menu is made.

 So a few ideas, both of which revolve around my array idea.

 The first is that `add_menu_page()` takes the extra titles set via the
 array and stores them for later usage. When the submenu is automatically
 created by `add_submenu_page()`, those titles are used.

 The second is that `add_menu_page()` automatically creates a submenu page
 on it's own (with the code from `add_submenu_page()` removed), but when a
 top level menu only has one submenu item, the submenu bar is hidden.

 Any thoughts on this proposal? Anyone have any better solutions?
