Comment(by ryan):

 The problem with menu_order is that it has no context. Is it for
 wp_list_pages(), is it for wp_page_menu(), is it for edit-pages.php? It
 also burdens every page with a piece of info needed for only a subset.  It
 is also useful only for internal WP pages, whereas what we want will allow
 other elements as well.  I'm thinking menu_order would remain for
 wp_list_pages and the new function would store items in an array.  The
 navigation menu usually has a much smaller subset of pages than the full
 pages list.  For most sites it will have only a handful of items (sites
 that have dropdowns with lots of children could have a lot though).
 Sticking those in an array in the options table would be fast and easy.
