 * I know I can `get_object_taxonomies('post')`, but is there a way to do the reverse:`
   get_taxonomy_objects('category')`?
 * What I need is a list of all post_types (including posts, pages and custom post
   types) registered to a certain taxonomy.

 * I just found that I can do:
 *     ```
       $tax_objects = get_taxonomies('','objects');
       $tax_object_types = $tax_objects['category']->object_type;
       ```
   
 * Is that the cleanest way?

 * It’s clean. I use the same constructions for taxonomy description:
 *     ```
       $taxonomy = 'team';
       $taxonomy_object = get_taxonomies('','objects');
       print $taxonomy_object[$taxonomy]->description
       ```
   
 * and post type description:
 *     ```
       $postType = 'coworker';
       $postType_object = get_post_type_object($postType);
       print $postType_object->description;
       ```
