Lua Update Suggestion

Hello there fellow Lua scripters.
I was scripting for the NFS Server last night and i thought it would be a lot easier for lua coders if menu's did not have a maximum size of 9 items, but they have unlimited items, and they were automatically sorted in Pages of 8 + 1 [More Button]. So you normally send a menu with 17 items, and it shows up 8+1 in first page and 9 in the second. It would be easier at least to show arrays in the menu. It is possible now, but it will take a lot of coding for no reason.
What do you think?

P.S.: Menus shall be handled on the same title, and with more selections. So in the menu hook, you just use

if(selection==95)then

Would be nice to have more buttons, but with scrollbar is easier.

Take a look at this:

Very useful and interesting stuff that hasn't been given much attention..

While in fact, more sophisticated than most of the highly rated mods out there..

yeah just write a small function which automates this process. shouldn't be very hard.

so that you end up with a simple function which takes an array with unlimited entries as parameter for the buttons.
