Is it too late to suggest more standard flags? `--c` for example doesn't
make sense to me since '--' is used more for GNU long options. So it
should be '--category' and '-c' instead. Of course that's just my
opinion, so take it with salt as usual. :)

Still, interesting project and I might run it on a machine if it can
help us out.
