Are there any reasons you can’t use strings for admin menu positions?

Other than sorting with strnatcasecmp(), the only other place I see where the key might be used is if someone is applying custom menu ordering. However, since the menu is already being sorted based on the key order, it is unlikely that the keys would play any role in custom sorting. I can see no other reason why it would cause a problem, so it is probably safe to do. I would open up a ticket to get the inline docs changed though.
