You look so offensive to me. Did I ignore it? No! I only didn't mention any
opinion about that.

I think you remember that I wanted to use a kind of style sheet to specify a
fancy menu interface. This fits to the beeping issue. For now, I really don't
care how it looks like, as long as it is easy even for non-programmers. I use
a CSS-like syntax as an example:
grub.css:
# The default.
menuentry {
beep: 1 2 # Whatever these integers mean
}
# An usual entry.
menuentry.usual {
beep: 3 4
}
# A rescue entry.
menuentry.rescue {
beep: 5 6
}
grub.cfg
stylesheet grub.css
menuentry --class=usual "Usual OS" {
...
}
menuentry --class=rescue "Rescue OS" {
...
}
I didn't mention anything about your idea on hooks, because I only want to
separate visual or sound effects from the config file itself. I don't care so
much about the underlying implementation, whether it uses hooks or not.
That's because I bet that how to boot operating systems is independent of how
the menu looks.
