Right, this is what happens when a parse error occurs. This is a big
problem and my highest priority.

It's a replacement. But I think there is a configure feature that
allows you to rename binaries and scripts before installing. The
/boot/grub directory being shared should not course any problems.

There were some discussions about subdirectories for the kinds of
modules. Like fs/, commands/, etc. But I do not remember the outcome
of that discussion. :-)

Do you mean it should be disabled in the menu editor?
I do not think it is wise to enable it by default. But you could put
it in your grub.cfg.
