 * I’m populating a sidebar with categories. Since the sidebar is on the main page
   I will allow the file heirarchy fall down to `index.php` where I can include 
   the sidebar directly predefined variables telling it what to display. Because
   of this I need to filter out the category pages from others in the loop.

 * I’m using it at the top of `category.php` which is the page that displays the
   category information. On this page it cannot be called with argument because 
   they are in the query. This function is supposed to grab that query and inform
   us if we are infact dealing with a category request.
 * The `cat` part is actually the query name ie `?cat=country`.
