I have. It's in the current code, turned off.
It's a filter to mass-sift
through articles fast. The only implemented use (also turned off) is to
filter Recent Changes to show only articles in a category *and its
subcategories*. I have asked to turn it on for testing some time ago,
but was more or less ignored (as usual;-).
It could be tested on one of the smaller wikis to check what impact it
would have on en or de.
How does it cope with category cycles? Basically I feel that since we
have no real definition of what "subcategory" means (on en, at least),
it's not that meaningful at this stage to presume that subcategories
should be searched along with the main category. Or perhaps the user
should be able to choose whether or not that's meaningful for the
category he's searching...
