How come is it reasonable?
It isn't enough that just using $file argument of add_xxx_page() to
build action names?
Conditions:
a. in case add_xxx_page() without the last argument $function,
$file must be unique among WP and related files.
b. in case add_xxx_page() with the last argument $function set,
$file is used just for action names, not used by `include'.
so plugin developer could set $file freely like as an unique ID.
Without framework's help that adding prefix from parent's menu
text and `_page_', developers still make hook tags to be unique.
