Comment (by boonebgorges):

 I'm going to move forward with this. A few changes I'm making to the most
 recent patches:

 - break up unit tests into smaller pieces, and eliminate some redundancies
 (I don't see a need to test alongside 'hide_empty' variants)
 - change the way the `$exclusions` clause is built, so that it compiles an
 array and translates it into a SQL string one time, rather than stringing
 together little bits of SQL
 - ensure that 'childless' respects all passed `$taxonomies`, not just the
 first one
