Not really. There are two main points
1) category deep tree traversal (flattening / deep indexing) at
runtime is technically unfeasable.
2) automatic flattening produces nonsense results

Ok, lets's say Neil found a way to deal with 10. I give you that this
is implementation specific. Number 2) however is independent of any
implementation. Here you have your "hoop" (to to stick with your
pejorative lingo): Get rid of the crazy category system and go atomic.
What is vague about this, what part of this is unclear to you?
