 Replying to [comment:2 westi]:
 > Can you not get the url for the settings menu by using the result of
 add_settings_page(...) as the slug you pass to menu_page_url to solve your
 usecase ?

 I could, but that doesn't solve the issue. `menu_page_url()` returns an
 escaped URL. `add_query_arg()` barfs when you pass it an escaped URL. So,
 either we're OK with these two functions NOT being able to work together,
 or we need to find a way to fix it. As it stands, you cannot take the
 result of `menu_page_url()` and pass it to `add_query_arg()`.
