Comment (by cyman):

 Replying to [comment:11 DrewAPicture]:
 > It occurs to me that instead of introducing a new filter here -- which
 would effectively be a duplicate of `wp_nav_menu_args` -- perhaps we
 should simply introduce a "context" parameter to the existing filter hook
 that would allow targeting of this particular context. Maybe something
 like 'menu-widget' (this context), vs 'none' or '' (main context).


 I would not agree, all the other native WP widgets have the filters
 applied. This was the only exception in `default-widgets.php`.

 While adding a context to the existing filter sounds like a great idea, I
 think that we should then also consider doing the same for the other
 native WP widgets in the `default-widgets.php` file - keeping the code
 consistent, right?
