Displaying a list of categories underneath the current category

Right now I’m struggling with a seemingly simple question: how do I display a list of articles underneath the current category?

For example, let’s suppose I have a category structure like this:
-Foo
—Example
-Bar

When I browse to category Foo to see the articles it contains, I’d like to see a page that shows that Example is a subcategory of it, and then a list of articles in category Foo.

Is there an easy way to do this? If I need to make a quick plugin, I can handle that.

<txp:if_category name="foo">
	<txp:category_list parent="foo" />
	<txp:article />
</txp:if_category>

Doesn’t that require me to do that for each and every category I have that contains subcategories?

Yep. Alternative is to grab asy_wondertag, and do:

<txp:if_category>
	<txp:asy_wondertag><txp:category_list parent="<txp:category />" /></txp:asy_wondertag>

	<txp:article />
</txp:if_category>
