Comment:

 These have limited use (especially when 'title_li' is present), but with
 the patch we can:

 1. Flatten the output (without re-ordering)
 {{{
 <ul>
   <?php
     $args = array(
       'format' => 'custom',
       'before' => '<li class="%s">',
       'after' => '</li>',
       'title_li' => null
     );
     wp_list_pages( $args );
   ?>
 </ul>

 <!-- produces -->
 <ul>
   <li class="page_item page-item-1"><a href="http://src.wordpress-
 develop.dev?p=1">Parent Page</a></li>
   <li class="page_item page-item-3"><a href="http://src.wordpress-
 develop.dev?p=3">Child Page</a></li>
   <li class="page_item page-item-2"><a href="http://src.wordpress-
 develop.dev?p=2">Second Parent</a></li>
  </ul>
 }}}

 2. Wrap links in other elements
 {{{
 <?php
   $args = array(
     'format' => 'custom',
     'before' => '<span class="%s">',
     'after' => '</span>',
     'title_li' => null
   );
   wp_list_pages( $args );
 ?>

 <!-- produces -->
 <span class="page_item page-item-1"><a href="http://src.wordpress-
 develop.dev?p=1">Parent Page</a></span>
 <span class="page_item page-item-3"><a href="http://src.wordpress-
 develop.dev?p=3">Child Page</a></span>
 <span class="page_item page-item-2"><a href="http://src.wordpress-
 develop.dev?p=2">Second Parent</a></span>
 }}}

 2. Add icons, entities, or whatever other items (that should most likely
 be CSS pseudo-elements):
 {{{
 <?php
   $args = array(
     'format' => 'custom',
     'before' => '* ',
     'title_li' => null
   );
   wp_list_pages( $args );
 ?>

 <!-- produces -->
 * <a href="http://src.wordpress-develop.dev?p=1">Parent Page</a>
 * <a href="http://src.wordpress-develop.dev?p=3">Child Page</a>
 * <a href="http://src.wordpress-develop.dev?p=2">Second Parent</a>
 }}}

 Patch also adds tests for `wp_page_menu()`.
