Comment (by joedolson):

 This function does not provide a title attribute by default, only if
 provided in arguments. That means there's a risk of people using it in a
 way which provides meaningless information, but also means that it
 provides added info, and should possibly be left as a dev decision when
 adding new menu items. Also, since this is an admin-side function, we can
 readily add JS to expose this information on keyboard focus, so it's my
 opinion that this should be dealt with by adding screen reader and
 keyboard support for the information via JS. 2nd Opinions welcome.
