`register_nav_menus` function already adds theme support for menus!

Seems like register_nav_menus function already adds theme support for menus!, so we don't need to use add_theme_support( 'menus' ).

Also, I've reviewed the official WordPress theme functions.php and they seem to not use add_action to call the register_nav_menus function. They simply use the function to register the locations directly: 

// Register & add support for theme menus
register_nav_menus( array(
  'main_menu' => __('Main Menu', 'portfolio')
) );

Is that OK?

This function automatically registers custom menu support for the theme therefore you do not need to call add_theme_support( 'menus' );

So, ofcourse this is Ok :)
