 `get_objects_in_term` is great for viewing taxonomy relationships for non-
 posts. However the return value is too limited for certain use cases. For
 When fetching object_ids for multiple terms the return value doesn't
 inform as to the matching term.

 For instance this query:

 {{{
 #!php
 $object_ids = get_objects_in_term(array(55, 66, 77, 88, 99),
 "my_custom_taxonomy");
 }}}

 Might return an array of object_ids as follows:

 {{{
 #!php
 array(101, 202, 303, 404);
 }}}

 However there's no way to tell '''which''' term a particular object_id
 matched. Did object 101 match term 77? Or maybe it was term 99? Or both?

 I've created a modified version of `get_objects_in_term` which will
 addresses this issue. I'll submit a patch, but am wondering if there's
 another way to achieve this functionality.
