Kind of like how ls has a recursive feature, but it's off by default, 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?
