 * hi..
    i had an idea – developers should have an ability to set a constant i.e.
 * `USE_STATIC_CUSTOM_MENU('menu_name') = true;`
 * in general, output of custom_menus on front-end, takes long (sometimes 1 second)..
   
   so, i think, that the custom-menu output should be saved as static string, and
   that should be outputed on FRONT_END request by visitors… and that STATIC string
   should be changed/ updated every time the custom-menu is edited, or when any 
   of that custom-menu’s item is modified… i think, it will save huge resources 
   over millions of sites/hosting..
 * p.s. of course, somehow, “current-menu-item” should be added while front-end 
   request..
