 Currently, the Posts, Pages, and Media menu items are hardcoded. This
 causes an issue if a user wants to hide those post types by re-registering
 the post type and setting the show_ui parameter to false. They don't get
 removed. In addition, if they set the show_ui parameter to true, you get
 duplicate menu items.

 This needs to be addressed. Potential issues: [[BR]]

 The Posts, Pages, and Media menu items loss their current position in the
 menu if they were to get re-registered. Possible solutions would be to
 extend register_post_type to specific the menu position ala a position
 parameter like add_menu_page() or WP should add hooks to reorder them back
 to their original positions. I'm for extending register_post_type() so any
 post type can benefit. Patches welcomed :)
