If added object implements ILocation, ObjectAddedEvent subscriber
generates an automatic IntId registration, and a new IntIdAddedEvent
event is fired, which is catched by Catalog indexDocSubscriber to
handle automatic cataloging of added objects. ObjectModifiedEvent event
is directly handled by Catalog reindexDocSubscriber to handle index
updates.

You don't have to subscribe to IContainerModifiedEvent or
IObjectModifiedEvent: zope.intid and zope.catalog packages already
provide subscribers for these events to automatically handle updates of
indexes.

What you have to do is just to generate an ObjectAddedEvent or
ObjectModifiedEvent when your object is added or modified, and notify
subscribers for it:

    myEvent = ObjectModifiedEvent(myObject)
    notify(myEvent)

Most form handling packages (zope.formlib, z3c.form) automatically
handle these events notifications if their base classes.
