category band paint for bar charts?

I noticed that there's no category band paint for CategoryPlot as XYPlot does (domain tick bands & range tick bands). In charts of many categories and many series, it confuses me to distinguish the boundary of adjacent catigories, even though I can increase the value of category margin, especially when series nearest to the boundary lacks. I think an alternative background paint for every another category, just like rangeTickBandPaint for XYPlot, would be helpful. Or is there any other solution?

I'll add it to the to-do list.

Ok. I'll wait for your next release, and for the current, I plan to extend CategoryPlot to implement this feature, as it's not difficult.
