What's so bad about this (where self is a portal_catalog)?

from Products.ZCTextIndex.ZCTextIndex \
    import PLexicon, ZCTextIndex, OkapiIndex

zcti = ZCTextIndex('SearchableText', 
                   caller=self,
                   index_factory=OkapiIndex,
                   field_name=name, 
                   lexicon_id='lexicon')
self._catalog.addIndex(name, zcti)

And if you need to add a lexicon:

lexicon = PLexicon('lexicon', '', HTMLWordSplitter(), CaseNormalizer())
self._setObject('lexicon', lexicon)

No big deal if you ask me.
