I would like to be able to implement menus using a Dictionary spec or 
other calling methods.
Then call DynamicMenuBuilder to collect extra menu items and forget 
about it.

Like:

|menu|

menu := MenuMorph new
	   addItemsFromDictionaries: ...

DynamicMenuBuilder extendMenu: menu using: #myMenuItems.

^ menu
