This quote came from the same pull request as earlier. Said pull request saved data very similarly to the way the Timer code does... you could say it was copied almost verbatim from the Timer code.
Like timer's data argument, it used the any tag to assign data during the Menu's creation and had a special flag to mark it as a Handle that should be closed when CloseHandle was called on the menu's Handle.
The above pull request was closed as it was made clear it wasn't going to be added to SM.
