[GRASS-dev] getting cat value of node

AFAIK category value can be assigned only to the simple features like
points, lines, boundaries, centroids, faces or kernels. Assigning
category value to node (vertex) is not currently supported. Workaround
can be to create additional vector point layer derived from nodes
(v.to.points -n).
