-- The above menus classes **are derived** from 2 main **abstract** classes defined within the MOOSE framework (so don't use these):
-- # **AUTHORS and CONTRIBUTIONS**
--
-- 1) MENU_ BASE abstract base classes (don't use them)
-- ====================================================
-- The underlying base menu classes are **NOT** to be used within your missions.
-- These are simply abstract base classes defining a couple of fields that are used by the
-- derived MENU_ classes to manage menus.
-- ### Contributions:
--
-- 1.1) @{#MENU_BASE} class, extends @{Base#BASE}
-- --------------------------------------------------
-- The @{#MENU_BASE} class defines the main MENU class where other MENU classes are derived from.
--
-- 1.2) @{#MENU_COMMAND_BASE} class, extends @{Base#BASE}
-- ----------------------------------------------------------
-- The @{#MENU_COMMAND_BASE} class defines the main MENU class where other MENU COMMAND_ classes are derived from, in order to set commands.
--
-- ===
--
-- **The next menus define the MENU classes that you can use within your missions.**
--
-- 2) MENU MISSION classes
-- ======================
-- The underlying classes manage the menus for a complete mission file.
--
-- 2.1) @{#MENU_MISSION} class, extends @{Menu#MENU_BASE}
-- ---------------------------------------------------------
-- The @{Menu#MENU_MISSION} class manages the main menus for a complete mission.
-- You can add menus with the @{#MENU_MISSION.New} method, which constructs a MENU_MISSION object and returns you the object reference.
-- Using this object reference, you can then remove ALL the menus and submenus underlying automatically with @{#MENU_MISSION.Remove}.
--
-- 2.2) @{#MENU_MISSION_COMMAND} class, extends @{Menu#MENU_COMMAND_BASE}
-- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- The @{Menu#MENU_MISSION_COMMAND} class manages the command menus for a complete mission, which allow players to execute functions during mission execution.
-- You can add menus with the @{#MENU_MISSION_COMMAND.New} method, which constructs a MENU_MISSION_COMMAND object and returns you the object reference.
-- Using this object reference, you can then remove ALL the menus and submenus underlying automatically with @{#MENU_MISSION_COMMAND.Remove}.
--
-- ===
--
-- 3) MENU COALITION classes
-- =========================
-- The underlying classes manage the menus for whole coalitions.
--
-- 3.1) @{#MENU_COALITION} class, extends @{Menu#MENU_BASE}
-- ------------------------------------------------------------
-- The @{Menu#MENU_COALITION} class manages the main menus for coalitions.
-- You can add menus with the @{#MENU_COALITION.New} method, which constructs a MENU_COALITION object and returns you the object reference.
-- Using this object reference, you can then remove ALL the menus and submenus underlying automatically with @{#MENU_COALITION.Remove}.
--
-- 3.2) @{Menu#MENU_COALITION_COMMAND} class, extends @{Menu#MENU_COMMAND_BASE}
-- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- The @{Menu#MENU_COALITION_COMMAND} class manages the command menus for coalitions, which allow players to execute functions during mission execution.
-- You can add menus with the @{#MENU_COALITION_COMMAND.New} method, which constructs a MENU_COALITION_COMMAND object and returns you the object reference.
-- Using this object reference, you can then remove ALL the menus and submenus underlying automatically with @{#MENU_COALITION_COMMAND.Remove}.
--
-- ===
--
-- 4) MENU GROUP classes
-- =====================
-- The underlying classes manage the menus for groups. Note that groups can be inactive, alive or can be destroyed.
--
-- 4.1) @{Menu#MENU_GROUP} class, extends @{Menu#MENU_BASE}
-- --------------------------------------------------------
-- The @{Menu#MENU_GROUP} class manages the main menus for coalitions.
-- You can add menus with the @{#MENU_GROUP.New} method, which constructs a MENU_GROUP object and returns you the object reference.
-- Using this object reference, you can then remove ALL the menus and submenus underlying automatically with @{#MENU_GROUP.Remove}.
--
-- 4.2) @{Menu#MENU_GROUP_COMMAND} class, extends @{Menu#MENU_COMMAND_BASE}
-- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- The @{Menu#MENU_GROUP_COMMAND} class manages the command menus for coalitions, which allow players to execute functions during mission execution.
-- You can add menus with the @{#MENU_GROUP_COMMAND.New} method, which constructs a MENU_GROUP_COMMAND object and returns you the object reference.
-- Using this object reference, you can then remove ALL the menus and submenus underlying automatically with @{#MENU_GROUP_COMMAND.Remove}.
--
-- ===
--
-- 5) MENU CLIENT classes
-- ======================
-- The underlying classes manage the menus for units with skill level client or player.
--
-- 5.1) @{Menu#MENU_CLIENT} class, extends @{Menu#MENU_BASE}
-- ---------------------------------------------------------
-- The @{Menu#MENU_CLIENT} class manages the main menus for coalitions.
-- You can add menus with the @{#MENU_CLIENT.New} method, which constructs a MENU_CLIENT object and returns you the object reference.
-- Using this object reference, you can then remove ALL the menus and submenus underlying automatically with @{#MENU_CLIENT.Remove}.
--
-- 5.2) @{Menu#MENU_CLIENT_COMMAND} class, extends @{Menu#MENU_COMMAND_BASE}
-- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
-- The @{Menu#MENU_CLIENT_COMMAND} class manages the command menus for coalitions, which allow players to execute functions during mission execution.
-- You can add menus with the @{#MENU_CLIENT_COMMAND.New} method, which constructs a MENU_CLIENT_COMMAND object and returns you the object reference.
