----------------------------+-----------------------------
 The following Walker classes have code smells for changing the data type
 of the `$args` parameter when extending from the `Walker::start_el` and
 `end_el`:

 - `Walker_Nav_Menu`
 - `Walker_Nav_Menu_Checklist`
 - `Walker_Nav_Menu_Edit`

 What is the code smell? The parent defines the `$args` parameter as an
 `array` data type with a default value of an empty array. The child
 classes change the parameter's data type to `stdClass` with a default
 value of `null`.

 These changes need investigation to determine if these changes are needed
 and why.
