 `Walker_Nav_Menu` has a nice `nav_menu_link_attributes` filter for
 modifying the attributes of a nav menu item. However, it applies
 `the_title` for the label of the item, and only supplies the value and the
 ID of the nav menu item.

 This makes it difficult to target when you only want to filter the label
 of the item. It would be nice to have a more semantic filter which
 supplied the full `$item` and `$args`.

 My use case: I'm adding the HTML for FontAwesome icons when certain
 conditions are met.
