All new code.

Ok - I'll add this.

I looked over barebox's menu code after you pointed it out, and
it does have more functionality and a fancier interface than this
implementation. Unfortunately, it appears that there aren't any menus
defined to use it in the barebox codebase to provide a real example for
it.

The primary advantage of the implementation I've provided over the
barebox implementation is simplicity.
