Grok-time means we are able to support ZCML style actions and anything 
you can do with ZCML overrides. We intend to think that set of features 
through at some point and support it in Grok somehow, though aren't 
there yet.

The idea in Grok is to keep the benefits of ZCML without ZCML actually 
being there. :)
