 Categories are a taxonomy and yet `is_tax()` only returns `true` for
 custom taxonomies and not for tags and categories.

 `is_tax()` should return true for them and if people want the old weird
 functionality, then they can pass a taxonomy name to `is_tax()` or just
 make sure both `is_category()` and `is_tag()` are false.

 The offending code looks to be in `WP_Query::parse_query()` where it loops
 over `$this->tax_query->queries`.
