A quick-and-dirty way to create non-link sub-menu dividers, plus a TODO on
how this should be formalizes to not be so hacky.
This change was inspired by the ever-growing "Site" sidebar menu.

"""Validation tools for generic object structures.
This library is used for defining classes with constrained attributes.
Attributes are defined on the class which contains them using validators.
Although validators can be defined by any client of this library, a number
of standard validators are provided here.
Validators can be any callable that takes a single parameter which checks
the new value before it is assigned to the attribute. Validators are
permitted to modify a received value so that it is appropriate for the
attribute definition. For example, using int as a validator will cast
a correctly formatted string to a number, or raise an exception if it
can not. This is not recommended, however. the correct way to use a
validator that ensure the correct type is to use the Type validator.
This validation library is mainly intended for use with the YAML object
builder. See yaml_object.py.
