Comment (by simonwheatley):

 Replying to [comment:14 SergeyBiryukov]:
 > #14634 suggests adding `$args`.

 Thanks Sergey. I can see this being more flexible, though it does increase
 complexity and I wasn't sure if this kind of parameter was in the spirit
 of the WordPress template tags. I've added it as a separate patch to make
 things easier to compare (diffing diffs… fun).

 #9547-sw2.diff demonstrates```get_the_terms``` and ```get_the_term_list```
 with the ```$args``` parameter.

 A further caching caveat with this patch: If you pass an empty array in
 $args (as is the default) it will cache under a different key to a call
 where the ```$args``` param contains values equivalent to the defaults in
 ```wp_get_object_terms```. This is because the patch is MD5 hashing the
 serialised ```$args``` array. I can't think of a way around this without
 duplicating the defaults from ```wp_get_object_terms``` in
 ```get_the_terms``` (and I suspect in most cases the problem is not
 serious).
