--------------------------+-----------------------------
 As of WP 4.9.8 `get_theme_mod()` declares `@return string`. If you query
 for navigation menu locations using `get_theme_mod('nav_menu_locations')`
 you get back an array. Modern IDEs (like PhpStorm) complain if you start
 to modify this array because they expect a string. The return value should
 be changed to `mixed`.
