Research direction

Start with the issue title and the linked bugs.python.org issue 22543, focusing on how Python's -W option handles warning categories. The payload names no source file, test, or entry point, so locate the option's implementation and existing warning-filter tests first. Done means non-standard warning categories can be used with -W and the behavior is covered by tests.
