 `get_ancestors([object_id], [object_type])` returns an array of the
 ancestor objects, starting from closest in hierarchy to highest.

 This would be helpful for determining general inheritance in themes and
 plugins.

 For example:

 {{{
 if ( in_array(123, get_ancestors(456, 'page') ) ) {
    // highlight a menu item, or query a particular set of objects
 }
 }}}
