But of course then I realized that even if this works it will be useless
- the main goal is using several menus to build the same tree, which
would not be possible if the tree is rewritten from scratch every time a
menu is parsed. 

This means I'm not yet sure how to do it. Fetching a menu from another
menu will involve fetching it and parsing it to return some structure to
the original menu, so that it incorporates the new menu as a subtree.
