hmm, it's not about newly created objects. i want to have automatic
REindexing, in cleartext - i want to make it easy for the programmer:
he/she should just call an attribute setter or maybe change a relation
and just before the transaction would be committed to the storage, i'd
like to cycle through all dirty objects and reindex them, if they're
catalogpathaware (or implement reindex_object()...).
