/**
 * Custom Menu Walker - Special Walker classes that manipulate the menus.
 *
 * WordPress uses a special “Walker” class that iterates over each data record and then displays this 
 * record accordingly. The cool thing about that is that we can simply create our own custom walker extending 
 * that PHP class. That way we dont need to care about fetching the stuff from the database or preparing the 
 * data arrays. We only need to extend the part of the wordpress code that outputs the list.
