 I've noticed that retrieving a category with
 {{{WP_Query::get_queried_object()}}} does not always work. When the
 query_var 'cat' is not set and 'category_name' is, nothing is returned.
 Shouldn't {{{get_queried_object()}}} also look in 'category_name' and, if
 present, retrieve the category using {{{get_category_by_path()}}}?

 Here is a solution that seems appropriate:

 {{{
 function get_queried_object() {
 ...
 if ($this->is_category) {
         $cat = $this->get('cat');
         if ($cat) {
                 $category = &get_category($cat);
         } else {
                 $cat = $this->get('category_name');
                 $category = &get_category_by_path($cat);
         }
         if ( is_wp_error( $category ) )
                 return NULL;
         $this->queried_object = &$category;
         $this->queried_object_id = (int) $category->term_id;
 }
 }}}
