        Category objects allow to define classification categories
        in an ERP5 portal. For example, a document may be assigned a color
        attribute (red, blue, green). Rather than assigning an attribute
        with a pop-up menu (which is still a possibility), we can prefer
        in certain cases to associate to the object a category. In this
        example, the category will be named color/red, color/blue or color/green

        Categories can include subcategories. For example, a region category can
        define
            region/europe
            region/europe/west/
            region/europe/west/france
            region/europe/west/germany
            region/europe/south/spain
            region/americas
            region/americas/north
            region/americas/north/us
            region/americas/south
            region/asia

        In this example the base category is 'region'.

        Categories are meant to be indexed with the ZSQLCatalog (and thus
        a unique UID will be automatically generated each time a category is
        indexed).

        Categories allow define sets and subsets of objects and can be used
        for many applications :

        - association of a document to a URL

        - description of organisations (geographical, professional)

        Through acquisition, it is possible to create 'virtual' classifications based
        on existing documents or categories. For example, if there is a document at
        the URL
            organisation/nexedi
        and there exists a base category 'client', then the portal_categories tool
        will allow to create a virtual category
            client/organisation/nexedi

        Virtual categories allow not to duplicate information while providing
        a representation power equivalent to RDF or relational databases.

        Categories are implemented as a subclass of BTreeFolders

        NEW: categories should also be able to act as a domain. We should add
        a Domain interface to categories so that we do not need to regenerate
        report trees for categories.
