Comment:

 Use case here:

 There's the main nav on a page, but outside the main nav there may be a
 sub nav. Perhaps the main menu is a hamburger menu in the header, then
 there's a hero image, and then below that is a sub nav including the
 current page and its navigation children (or, if you're already on a
 child, its siblings and parent). I can mock that up if it doesn't make
 sense.

 `wp_nav_menu()` doesn't include an argument for starting with a certain
 item or anything, so right now you have to do `wp_get_nav_menu_items()`,
 run `_wp_menu_item_classes_by_context()` on that to add the current
 classes, use those classes to determine if you need the parent and
 siblings or children, fill your own array and the print those out. I can
 provide a code sample for this.

 Maybe there's a better way of doing this, but it seems like a fair
 argument for this function if your nav hierarchy is different than your
 page hierarchy.
