 every now and again i find im in the need of the wp_nav_menu function
 where i only want a list if links, not the outer ul, or the li tags.

 there is already scope to remove the outer ul.

 but no support for removing the <li> tags from the returned results.

 at present i have to do this:


 {{{
 $foot_nav = wp_nav_menu( array( 'container' => '', 'echo' => '0',
 'theme_location' => 'footer_menu' ) );
 $foot_nav2 = preg_replace( array( '#^<ul[^>]*>#', '#</ul>$#' ), '',
 $foot_nav );
 $foot_nav2 = preg_replace( array( '#<li[^>]*>#', '#</li>$#' ), '',
 $foot_nav2 );
 echo $foot_nav2;
 }}}



 this isnt very clean, it would be nice to just be able to pass a parameter
 the wp_nav_menu function which just returns the links.

 i propose something like:


 {{{
 'return_links' => true,
 }}}



 the main reason for this is styling centered links in the footer.

 its much easier to just center links than it is to center a <ul> and
 results in much cleaner html with less dom elements.
