Yup. Because the catalog (which keeps the indexes for your objects) is 
created whenever a grok.Application object is created. Actually, it's 
creates slightly after the application object. That's why indexing won't 
happen in any application's __init__ method. But it will happen upon all 
other modified events, and container[name] = obj happens to throw a 
ContainerModifiedEvent or something of that sort.
