Ok, I believe you! Don't get mad just beacause I was asking
a question. I guess I didn't understand. In fact, if
catalog_object and uncatalog_object are interchangeable with
index_object and unindex_object, then I'm sure I don't
understand the point of inheriting from CatalogAware at all.
Is it reindex_object, which doesn't seem to have an
equivalent?
