Yeah, the categories would be pretty coarse grained, and their orthogonality
would cause classification problems.  I suppose we could use some kind of
hashtag approach.  OTOH, I'm not entirely sure it's worth it either. ;)

I think we'd need a concrete proposal and someone willing to hack the PEP0
autogen tools.
