 > Believe me, I'm with you and would like to see this sorted out. But, if
 you need a quick workaround, instead of using position 3, use position
 3.283764827483 or something similar. Unlikely it will run in to a
 conflict.

 Thanks.  I had tried that and it didn't work.  Explanation:
 {{{
 // Works as mentioned
 add_menu_page('','',  8, '', '', null, '3.1');

 // Ends up in position 3
 add_menu_page('','',  8, '', '', null, 3.1);
 }}}

 The reason is that numeric indices in an array are forced to int
 (truncated, not rounded) but non-numeric indices can be anything.
