Comment:

 Citing feedback from @helen in comment:28, I think we should probably
 revert [34376] and [34386] and fall-back and regroup.

 I played around with it a little bit 2 weeks ago and there's definitely
 some work to be done yet. We ''could'' add another argument, e.g.
 `show_categories_widget` but that doesn't really make sense.

 I also played around with the idea of deprecating the `show_tagcloud`
 argument in favor of a new `show_in_widgets` argument that accepts an
 array (would control what `show_tagcloud` does now, plus the categories
 widget). Ended up being a lot of code for a simple task.

 Then we have the problem of this being called the "Categories" widget.
