This makes no sense. Please read the documentation. The `interface` attribute 
in the menu directive allows you to specifically specify a menu interface, 
instead of having the directive create one for you.

It all depends on what the context is. If context is an object providing 
`IAdding`, you should definitely get a menu item.
