BUT in addition the "optionSplit" syntax for the values is ALSO evaluated here so that all property-values are "option-splitted" and the output will thus be resolved. Is called from the "generate" functions in the extension classes. The function is processor intensive due to the option split feature in particular. But since the generate function is not always called (since the ->result array may be cached, see makeMenu) it doesn't hurt so badly.
