Public bug reported:

Please implement a feature that will provide a list of which categories
have been chosen for the test run (using the include list).

Here's a code sample of how this could be used in future:

TestContext.SelectedCategories would offer a collection indicating which
categories were selected.

[Test]
[Category("long")]
[Category("short")]
Public void SomeTest()
{
	List.Add(item1);
	List.Add(item2);
	If(TestContext.SelectedCategories.Contains("long"))
	{
		List.Add(item3);
		List.Add(item4);
...
		List.Add(itemN);
	}
	ProcessList(List);
} 

Depending on the content of the list, this test might either take an
hour (full scope) or 2 minutes (reduced scope).
