 the function register_taxonomy() in wp-includes/taxonomy.php does not
 check for reserved taxonomies. But later on this will cause malfunctions
 or unexpected behaviour and bugs.

 I wrote a very simple patch that checks if any of the reserved taxonomies
 are being registered and if so it notifies the developer by
 _doing_it_wrong and WP_Error as a fallback.

 Projects and plugins that are using reserved taxonomies in the wild will
 not break. But the developers will be notified via the logs or on their
 development environments where WP_DEBUG is true.
