> The Menu component is hardcoded to have its origin at the top left corner.
> This leads to two issues:
> 1) In order to use a Menu with its origin at the top right corner, its width
> needs to be known in order to position the top left corner. In order to know
> the width, the menu must be displayed. The workaround for this is to
> "display" the menu far off the visible screen, determine its width, hide it,
> and then display it in the desired location. Very clumsy - there should be a
> built-in way of achieving this.
> 2) The 'show' function embeds within it a tween that runs from top left to
> bottom right. This is appropriate only when the menu is rendered with the
> origin at the top left corner. When attempting to use an origin at the top
> right, this tween just looks wrong. There is no workaround for this, since
> the code for the tween is buried in the midst of the 'show' function.
