Comment:

 I'd like to suggest that we change the name of the new argument to
 `hide_title_if_empty`. This does two things:

 1. It's gets us away from pigeonholing the argument to categories,
 especially since this function can be used with other taxonomies
 2. It follows more closely with the naming scheme of other "empty"-related
 arguments.


 On point !#1, if/when we move to taxonomy-agnostic namespacing, this would
 be one less thing we'd have to account for if/when `wp_list_categories()`
 becomes a wrapper for a `wp_list_terms()` function, for instance. Plus I
 think it's just clearer all around.
