  * component:  Optimization => Template
  * summary:  get_pages specific use case optimization => add parent arg to
              get_pages()

Comment:

 Patch attached implements the 'parent' arg. This is useful in themes where
 a Menu may want to include the Subpages of a page, but wishes to prevent
 the retrieval of *every* page in order to do so.

 Eg: Http://dd32.id.au/ the top menu (Home | Blog | Contact me, etc) are
 pages which are subpages of 'Frontpage holder', There is no particular
 reason to retrieve all the plugin pages for that page listing.
