Comment (by snakefoot):

 I have noticed that get_category_by_path doesn't work well with category-
 hierarchy, where the same slug exists with different parent.

 Maybe fix this new generic term-method to handle this? And make
 get_category_by_path() call the new method?

 Could be nice if the following was possible:

 /men/shoes/
 /women/shoes/
