Comment:

 The following from r68603 is breaking backwards compatibility between 7.0
 and 7.2:

 {{{
 #!diff
 - def write(self, geo_obj, attrs=None, set_cats=True):
 + def write(self, geo_obj, cat=None, attrs=None):
 }}}

 The old API should (must) be accommodated. If the old API is so bad, that
 it needs to be replaced (rather than extended), then we should have one
 transitional version where both APIs work and the old one gives a warning.
 I don't have enough information to make the judgment.

 Related to that, the error message does not give much information about
 what is going on.
