I really hope that nobody answers to this. It doesn't help to repeat this rather
unreflected statement again and again and to start a flame war each time.

It's so simple. If you find documentation to poor, you are free to improve it.
You are free to buy a book if you don't like the online documentation. There is
no more to say to this.

I don't know of a feature tu map categories of one extension to the menu
automaticall. The reason is that a plugin is usually placed into one page.

I think it would be very usefull to have such a feature, not only for shops. Let
us call it a virtual subtree. The menu function would need to provide a hook.
Somebody would need to write a library. Maybe it is already implemented and I
don't know of it. Maybe it is not. Why don't you implement it yourself than of
sponsor implementation?
