I need a current-cat-ancestor class to be applied to list items generated by wp_list_categories. Currently wp_list_categories only generates current-cat and current-cat-parent classes. I need current-cat-ancestor class applied to the next level and beyond. WordPress adds the ancestor class for wp_list_pages and wp_nav_menu, but unfortunately not for wp_list_categories.<div>
