/**
 * Defines an interface for loading, transforming and rendering menu link trees.
 *
 * The main purposes of this interface are:
 * - Load a list of menu links, given a menu name, using
 *   MenuLinkTreeInterface::load(). Loaded menu links are returned as a
 *   tree by looking at the links' tree meta-data.
 * - Which links are loaded can be specified in the menu link tree parameters
 *   that are passed to the load() method. You can build your own set of
 *   parameters, or you can start from typical defaults by calling the
 *   MenuLinkTreeInterface::getCurrentRouteMenuTreeParameters() method. See
 *   \Drupal\Core\Menu\MenuTreeParameters for more on menu tree parameters.
 * - Transform a menu link tree, by calling MenuLinkTreeInterface::transform().
 *   Examples include access checking, adding custom classes, extracting a
 *   subtree depending on the active trail, etc. Note that translation is not
 *   a tree transformation, because menu links themselves are responsible
 *   for translation. Transformations are performed by "menu link tree
 *   manipulators", which are functions or methods; see
 *   \Drupal\Core\Menu\DefaultMenuLinkTreeManipulators for examples.
 * - Create a render array using MenuLinkTreeInterface::build().
