But it already defaults to that.. :-)

Don't forget that it's also convention to have KEYWORDS be a superset
of CATEGORIES (it's set to ${CATEGORIES} now, as the default). I
would either recommend that people setting KEYWORDS explicitly include
them like this:
KEYWORDS+= ${CATEGORIES} raisins sex chainsaws
Or that we make KEYWORDS be KEYWORDS+= ${CATEGORIES} instead of
KEYWORDS?= ${CATEGORIES} as it is now.

Looks good to me!
