Comment(by wenzeslaus):

 My points:
  * we don't want to add anything menu-like to parser, I guess
  * module tree is not only GUI menu thing, look at the tree in `Search
 modules` tab, shouldn't be this part of documentation?
  * we can have a XML with module tree separated from GUI
  * we can post-process module HTMLs once they are in `doc/html`, so we
 will not change compilation of module (we can find and replace some
 special comment in HTML by menu position)
  * `doc/man` should not be influenced


 My questions:
  * What exactly was and is `menudata.py` functionality?
  * Can we rewrite `module_synopsis.sh` to Python and what is it doing
 anyway and when?
  * Do we want menu entry position in module documentation?
  * Do we want module tree position (from `Search modules` tab) in module
 documentation?
  * Do we want multiple tree positions in module documentation?
  * Do we want module tree (from `Search modules` tab) and/or menu tree as
 a separate HTML page in HTML documentation?
