If 'factory' is used, I also can't see a way to determine the factory 
used on import.

If 'component' is used, there might be a solution: __module__ should be 
set correctly. Maybe we can loop through the objects in the module and 
compare them with our component?

But if we have to keep track of registrations anyway, it might be better 
to do this for all kinds of registrations instead of using a hack.
