Comment (by DJPaul):

 Replying to [comment:7 modemlooper]:
 >Why create the function bp_nav_menu when wp_nav_menu exists?
 wp_nav_menu always goes and finds a (WordPress) Menu, finds a theme
 location, and gets the Menu's items. That's overhead that we don't need,
 and there's also some logic in the WordPress function that bails out if it
 can't find a menu or if the menu it finds has no menu items, which we
 can't work around.

 If/when in a future release, BP registers a menu location and integrates
 fully into WordPress' Menus admin screen, I think there's a reasonable
 chance that bp_nav_menu() could become a simple wrapper for wp_nav_menu(),
 but I don't think it's possible yet.
