Comment (by schlessera):

 As [https://wordpress.slack.com/archives/C5UNMSU4R/p1508246833000453
 discussed in Slack #core-js channel], I'm uploading my current code for
 working with WordPress menus through the REST API.

 The basic code works:

 `menu-locations` endpoint:
 This provides basic enumeration, direct access through their slug, as well
 as linking and embedding the attached menus.
 This is read-only, as the locations are defined in code, not stored in the
 database.

 `menus` endpoint:
 Extension of the terms controller. Provides all terms functionality, with
 the addition of making the linked menu items embeddable, as this would be
 a common use case.

 `menu-items` endpoint:
 Extension of the posts controller. Provides all posts functionality, with
 no customizations as of yet.
 Shows the associated menu in the `'menus'` property, which can also be
 queried: `menu-items/?menus=2`.

 I assume that these implementations are still missing some subtleties, so
 consider this a first draft to serve as a basis for discussion.
