Comment:

 Stephen1988's patch seems to create several issues:
 * breaks the "selected" argument
 * adds a "show_last_update" argument that returns an error since no such
 argument exists
 I fixed those two things and also tested the patch, but I am not sure it
 is in working condition yet. Issues I find
 * it will break if you don't set the "name" argument with the taxonomy's
 slug
 * it will break if you set value to "term_id" when using anything other
 than category (is the possibility of having an option really needed, or
 wouldn't it be better to just have it default to id for categories and
 slug for other taxonomies?)
