"menuconfig" does not start a block, semantically it is equivalent to
"config". Kconfig is able to derive the menu structure from
dependencies, see "Menu structure" in kconfig-language.txt,
config/menuconfig only influence how the resulting menu is rendered in
the frontends. E.g. 'make nconfig' and 'make menuconfig' frontends
display the menu like

[*] Foo
[ ]   Bar
[ ]   Baz

if Foo is "config", and

[*] Foo  --->
(Bar and Baz hidden in the submenu)

if Foo is "menuconfig".
