[wp-hackers] $cache_categories

[Alex King]

Could we make categories an array property of the post object so they  
are be easily accessed?

$post->categories

The post queries can pull the categories from the cache into each  
$post, then regardless of the cache used, all the theme and plugin  
folks need to do is access $post->categories.

Cheers,
