====== Menu Security ======

To clarify menu security, here's a simple example:

Suppose we have 4 users with the following levels and flags:

     ┌──────────────────────┬───────┬─────────┐
     │  Name                │ Level │  Flags  │
     │----------------------│-------│---------│
     │ Pete                 │   10  │    Z    │
     │ Jerry                │  100  │    P    │
     │ Al                   │  100  │    R    │
     │ Charlie              │  200  │  P & R  │
     └──────────────────────┴───────┴─────────┘

Let's define a menu with textlines only:

     ┌───────────────────────┬───────┬────────┐
     │ Text                  │ Level │ Flags  │
     │-----------------------│-------│--------│
     │ Good morning;         │   10  │        │
     │ ,;                    │   50  │        │
     │ Jerry                 │  100  │   P    │
     │ and;                  │  150  │        │
     │ Al;                   │  100  │   R    │
     │ send their best wishes│  200  │ P & R  │
     │ .                     │  300  │        │
     │ :-)                   │   10  │   X    │
     └───────────────────────┴───────┴────────┘

This would give the following result when the menu is displayed:

     ┌─────────────────┬─────────────────────────────────┐
     │ Pete            │ Good morning                    │
     ╞═════════════════╪═════════════════════════════════╡
     │ Jerry           │ Good morning,Jerry              │
     ╞═════════════════╪═════════════════════════════════╡
     │ Al              │ Good morning,Al                 │
     ╞═════════════════╪═════════════════════════════════╡
     │ Charlie         │ Good morning, Jerry             │
     │                 │ and Al send their best wishes   │
     └─────────────────┴─────────────────────────────────┘

The last 2 lines of the menu will NEVER be displayed, because none of the 4 users have the required level AND flags.
