I appreciate the compliment :-)

You are perfectly right. It is some sort of deviance that, since we so
much need the category stuff for (algebraic) combinatorics, I tend to
discuss anything related on sage-combinat. The line is fine, but in
that case, I shall instead run the discussion on sage-devel, and just
crosspost a notice on sage-combinat.
