Inconsistent args type passed to Walker's start_el() method

[howardtw]

According to the doc [1], all args should be an array

start_lvl( &$output, $depth = 0, $args = array() ) 
end_lvl( &$output, $depth = 0, $args = array() ) 
start_el( &$output, $object, $depth = 0, $args = array(), $current_object_id = 0 ) 

But in wp-admin/includes/nav-menu.php, object is being passed instead of array

  28     /**
  29      * @see Walker::start_el()                                                                                                                                                                                                        
  30      * @since 3.0.0

  33      * @param object $item Menu item data object.
  34      * @param int $depth Depth of menu item. Used for padding.

Hi @howardtw, thanks for filing a ticket. It looks like the docs for this were updated a few releases ago in 3.7 via [25641]
