Comment (by mikeschinkel):

 I'd forgotten about this.

 Not all arguments are required; $ment_title could default to $page_title,
 $capability could default to 'read' if not 'edit_posts', and $function,
 $icon_url, and $position are defaulted so it could easily be:


 {{{
 add_menu_page(array(
   'page_title'=> "My Menu Page',
   'menu_slug'=> "edit.php?foo=bar',
 ))
 }}}

 I'll work on a patch soon.

 BTW, would `register_menu_page()` be inappropriate semantics and if so
 why? ''(I ask so I can understand when "add" is appropriate and "register"
 is appropriate.)''
