+-- Generates a menu compatible with the first argument of `iterate` function and

--- The following describes the function arguments:
+-- Inputs:
 -- * args: an array containing the following members:
---   * choices:       the list of choices from which to generate the menu
---   * name:          the displayed name of the menu (in the form "name: choices")
---   * selected_cb:   the callback to execute for each selected choice. Takes
---                    the choice as a string argument. The function
---                    menu_iterator.naughty_destroy_callback will handle nil
---                    callbacks. It is then fine to pass nil callbacks.
---   * rejected_cb:   the callback to execute for each rejected choice (in the
---                    set of possible choices, but not selected). Takes the
---                    choice as a string argument. The function
---                    menu_iterator.naughty_destroy_callback will handle nil
---                    callbacks. It is then fine to pass nil callbacks.
---   * extra_choices: an array of pairs { choice_text, cb } for extra choices to
---                    be added to the menu. The function
---                    menu_iterator.naughty_destroy_callback will handle nil
---                    callbacks. It is then fine to pass nil callbacks.
---   * combination:   the combination of choice to generate. Possible choices
---                    are "powerset" and "single" (the default).
+--   * choices:       Array of choices (string) on which the menu will be
+--                    generated.
+--   * name:          Displayed name of the menu (in the form "name: choices").
+--   * selected_cb:   Callback to execute for each selected choice. Takes
+--                    the choice as a string argument. Can be `nil` (no action
+--                    to execute).
+--   * rejected_cb:   Callback to execute for each rejected choice (possible
+--                    choices which are not selected). Takes the choice as a
+--                    string argument. Can be `nil` (no action to execute).
+--   * extra_choices: An array of extra { choice_str, callback_fun } pairs to be
+--                    added to the menu. Each callback_fun can be `nil`.
+--   * combination:   The combination of choices to generate. Possible values:
