This is a nice feature.  But please use a different name
since the 'category' alist entry is reserved exclusively
to match display-buffer calls in user's configuration
in the user option 'display-buffer-alist'.
When using the same name for different purposes
then the users won't be able to match by category
and not to reuse the same window.
