 Oddly enough this idea occurred to both Matt and I today without talking
 to each other before hand. Crazy.

 Anyway, theme developers shouldn't have to hard code in the `<link>`s or
 code up the logic to display the URL to a category, etc. feed in their
 theme's head. On the other hand, we can't just go and do it ourselves as
 browsers aren't smart enough to ignore duplicate feed links.

 So I have a patch in the works where a theme developer can just call a
 function in their theme's `functions.php` file and that will queue up
 automatically adding `<link>` tags to the `<head>` depending on current
 location (home, single, category, etc.).
