I fully second this idea. The problem, of course, is how to organize it
if it is menat to be a proper whole, which will not confuse with different
layouts, et c. In the meantime, I can say that I am working on a stack
which will make it very easy to use custom menus in a stack, without
any need for scripting to set up the menus (although any non-standard
commands will have to be written and inserted into the stack script
as usual). If I can get it to work properly, this is one stack I might
contribute to a public collection.
