 Replying to [comment:10 DrewAPicture]:
 > Additionally, I think if we move forward with this, we're going to need
 to take some time to consider the best workflow for creating and editing
 placeholder links. Should there be a checkbox only in the add pane? Or
 should we just allow adding custom links with no URL? Or what using about
 special URL placeholder (heh) like `#`. Or what about a menu item setting?

 The problem with `#` is that it implies click-ability like any other link
 (which may be desirable for some themes), as opposed to being merely an
 placeholder. `#` will also cause issues in themes where menus aren't at
 the top of the page (including fixed navbars like Twenty Fourteen has),
 because of the scroll-to-top functionality.

 I'm definitely interested in more opinions on the best workflow for adding
 and managing placeholders. I like treating it as its own type once added,
 like the patch does, but there're certainly other options.
