Comment (by wpscholar):

 My latest attachment includes fully functional API endpoints for menus,
 menu items, menu locations, and menu settings.

 There was a good bit of logic that is part of the
 `wp_wpdate_nav_menu_item()` function that needed to be duplicated to get
 it working properly in the menu items endpoint. One of these was the
 handling of orphaned menu items.

 I made menu locations writeable, but only for updating the menu ID
 assigned to a menu location.

 Menu settings is a new introduction that provides access to the `auto_add`
 option to automatically add top-level pages to a menu.

 With all of these endpoints, it would be possible to completely replace
 the existing screen under `Appearance` -> `Menus` with a single page
 JavaScript app.

 These endpoints are key to the initiative being explored here:
