Comment:

 Actually, "child_of" is the wrong name for this parameter, if we're going
 to be consistent with how it's used elsewhere in WP.

  * "child_of" - Selecting the "child_of" X should return all the
 ''descendants'' of X (children, grandchildren, great-grandchilren, etc.).
  * "parent" - Selecting the "parent" X should return just the ''immediate,
 first-generation children'' of X, not all descendants.

 Patch shows a query for "parent," which we can get already with the
 "post_parent" parameter.

 I'm closing as invalid because we can already do what the patch does with
 "post_parent."
