/**
 * Provide expansion arguments for dynamic menu items.
 *
 * The map items must be keyed by the dynamic path to expand, i.e. a menu path
 * containing one or more '%' placeholders. Each map item may have the following
 * properties:
 * - parent: The parent menu path to link the expanded items to.
 * - arguments: An array of argument sets that will be used in the expansion.
 *   Each set consists of an array of one or more placeholders, which again is
 *   an array of possible expansion values. Upon expansion, each argument is
 *   combined with every other argument from the set (technically, the cartesian
 *   product of all arguments). The expansion values may be empty; that is, you
 *   do not need to insert logic to skip map items for which no values exist,
 *   since Administration menu will take care of that.
