Orphaned menu items - you can delete a menu item which has children and the children are left in limbo... [#121668]

As per title, if you have a menu structure such as;

Some menu;
- parent
-- test #1
-- test #2

If you delete menu item 'parent' in this case, it's removed but the children it has are still in the db and are not displayed anywhere as their parent is obviously missing.

Can you not add some sort of validation for this?

function menu_item_delete_form_validation($form_id, $form_values) {
  $item = menu_get_item($form_values['mid']);
  if (isset($item['children']) form_set_error('something', 'Error, this menu item has children and deleting this will orphan them (or something)');
