Comment:

 `current_page_parent` is meant to make the menus work in a backwards-
 compatible way with the classes given to pages in lists, thanks to
 `Walker_Page`.

 Specifically, `Walker_Page`, which generates the class names for many page
 lists, considers everything not a page to be a child of the "posts page."
 Maybe it shouldn't, but that's the behavior that would need to be changed
 first.

 Instead, you can use the "`current-menu-parent`" class to specify elements
 that are parents of the currently-requested page, without this backwards-
 compatibility quirk.
