 Practical case: Within WooCommerce we allow the user to translate the main
 admin menu label, which says 'WooCommerce' by default. When this label is
 translated, it also changes the `$screen->id` property of the child pages.
 What used to be 'woocommerce_page_woocommerce_reports' is now
 'boutique_page_woocommerce_status' (after translating to French) for
 example.

 We want to continue offering to translate this and have a workaround to
 detect the correct subpage (for including stylesheets, javascripts on
 specific pages only), by using PHP's strstr. But I feel the ultimate goal,
 which allows a more 'clean' way is to be able to lock the id of the top
 level menu. This allows cleaner detection of screens based on
 `screen->id`s (which shouldn't change because of localisation) .
