I’ve been thinking about what we could do to automatically (and cleanly) handle parent directories that do not exist by default.

For example, the contents of a given category are available at a URL such as:

http://splorp.me/category/getoffmylawn

But there is no page designated for the parent directory:

http://splorp.me/category/

It would make sense to provide a “category” landing page of some sort, even if it simply echoes a restyled version of the `wp_list_categories()` function used in the sidebar.

Along with the `/category/` subdirectory, we should handle `/tag/` and `/date/` as well.
