Comparison to quickbar, simplemenu

Or SimpleMenu?

Very useful for themes that don't have a good place to put the navigation menu (although it can be used with any menu.)

Ah, but who needs history or continuity when someone can just waltz in and lie. Now it's a WordPress thing.

Like Taxonomy, right?

Another module for this is here:

"Use a different menu as the Administration Menu. Configurable per role."

Thanks for pointing these out. These modules are different than what I'm trying to achieve here. Kindly review the module description.
