--------------------------+-----------------
 In #5122 [7427] we introduced BP items to Appearance > Menus. At the
 moment, it's not really possible for a plugin to modify or add to these
 items.

 The obvious fix for this is to add filters to
 `bp_nav_menu_get_loggedin_pages()` and
 `bp_nav_menu_get_loggedout_pages()`. But I have a little trepidation about
 this for two reasons.

 (1) The process for building nav items in the Customizer is different. So
 a filter here may not be easily ported when #6509 is addressed.
 (2) The `$page_args` returned from these BP functions are page-like
 objects, which we fake with `stdClass` objects. It's a hack that is not
 ideal, but is acceptable in part because it's an internal mechanism. By
 adding filters, it turns into a public API that we've gotta support into
 the future.
