BTW. perhaps (it is only an idea) @top_level_breadcrumbs or
@home_breadcrumbs would be a better name for this variable.

Not exactly arbitrary, as it is inside A element, so it cannot contain A links
itself (hyperlinks should not be nested), but it is not esc_html-aped.

Perhaps even make ( [ $home_link_str, $home_link ] ) to be default
value for @extra_breadcrumbs, making new feature generalization
of $home_link*, similarly to how it was done for $stylesheet -> @stylesheets
