Re: [w3c/manifest] Feature Request: Shortcuts categories (#922)

@aarongustafson Let’s look at this example dock menu from Apple Music:

As you can see here, there are different unnamed categories. Sure, user agents could achieve the same appearance by just dropping the category title on macOS and only show it in jump lists on Windows.

Again, I’m strongly supportive of the feature! Just adding the `category` property might even work, but it somehow doesn’t feel right for me. I think apart from DRY I’m also a bit concerned about the forward-safety of this approach. What if a category can have icons or a descriptive text? Does Linux (or some of their desktop managers) support categories? I think a bit more research would be helpful.
