Changes (by SimonKing):

  * work_issues:  Rebase wrt the new version of #11900; Use ideas from
                  there to improve is_subcategory for
                  Category_singleton => Use ideas from
                  #11900 to improve is_subcategory


Comment:

 I have updated the patch, so that (1) it applies, and (2) Sage starts. But
 I'd certainly like to improve the _subcategory_hook_ by using subclass
 check of parent classes. This would work generally, not only for
 Category_singleton. In #11935, it would then be needed to refine the
 _subcategory_hook_ for subclasses of `CategoryWithParameter`, because of
 sharing parent classes.
