and how find is recursive by default, but you can limit it?
Not exactly - there you're talking about the function (searching,
browsing, navigating...) dictating whether subcategories are included.
I was thinking letting the category decide: "Category:Artists" should,
when browsing, include "Category:French artists". By default, it
should not, however.

Another example that recently occurred. In the Article on [[Sophia
Yakovlevna Parnok]], the Categories, 'Poets', 'Russian poets', &
'Jewish
poets' were each included. An editor came along and deleted the 'Poets'
Category, saying it was a 'duplicate category'. If I now clicked on that
Main Category, 'Poets' would Sophia Yakovlevna Parnok, the poet be included
in that list?
