This could be done by a flag in the .directory file for that directory. Then
the VFS layer doesn't care about inlining, and the app building the menu can
do the inlining if possible. So since this would be a hint for the app that
displays the menu rather then something that relates to the "structure" of the
menu it seems to make sense to do it there. Perhaps add
VFolderInline=true
Note:
On of the ideas I had some time ago for panel menu code which I never did was
automatic inlining if we had a bunch of submenus with just a few items in it.
So perhaps this could be done automatically in the first place.
