Pass the full $args array to hook 'get_categories_taxonomy' and allow modification

[beargfr]

Currently, hook point get_categories_taxonomy only receives single element of the $args array: $args['taxonomy'].

Passing the entire $args array instead would permit modification at that hook point and would make it simple to provide additional function at that point, such as controlling the results of get_categories by setting $args['exclude'], $args['include'] and thus controlling which categories are listed by the things such as category widgets, etc.

Hi there and welcome to Trac!

This hook is used in get_categories(), which in turn uses get_terms()/WP_Term_Query. All term queries' arguments can be filtered using the ​`get_terms_args` filter. Does that filter cover your use case?

Yes! That gave me what I needed. Thanks.

Excellent!

In that case I don't think we need an extra hook, so I am closing this as wontfix.
