The list of items in the menu.

Menu only accepts objects of type Menu, MenuItem, and MenuSeparator as children. It also supports Instantiator objects as long as the insertion is being done manually using insertItem().

  Menu {
      id: recentFilesMenu

      Instantiator {
          model: recentFilesModel
          MenuItem {
              text: model.fileName
          }
          onObjectAdded: recentFilesMenu.insertItem(index, object)
          onObjectRemoved: recentFilesMenu.removeItem(object)
      }

      MenuSeparator {
          visible: recentFilesModel.count > 0
      }

      MenuItem {
          text: "Clear menu"
          enabled: recentFilesModel.count > 0
          onTriggered: recentFilesModel.clear()
      }
  }

Note that in this case, the index parameter passed to insertItem() is relative to the position of the Instantiator in the menu, as opposed to absolute position in the menu.
