Zola test: Can you group taxonomies in front matter?

Can you group tags and categories under a [taxonomies] section in your Zola post's front matter rather than listing them under taxonomies.tags and taxonomies.categories?

Yes you can.

This post's front matter went from:

+++
title = "Zola test: Can you group taxonomies in front matter?"
date = 2025-02-28

taxonomies.tags = [
    "front matter",
    "toml",
]
taxonomies.categories = [
    "Zola"
]
+++

to:

+++
title = "Zola test: Can you group taxonomies in front matter?"
date = 2025-02-28

[taxonomies]

tags = [
    "front matter",
    "toml",
]
categories = [
    "Zola"
]
+++

The second one, with [taxonomies] seems cleaner, and that's what I'm going to use.
