[Zope] CatalogAware when there's no 'Catalog'

[Timothy Wilson]

Hi everyone,

It seems like it's not possible to create a CatalogAware ZClass that
automatically catalogs itself in anything other than a ZCatalog named
'Catalog'. Is that the case?

Does a rule of thumb exist to help decide when you should us a 'Catalog' in
your Zope's root folder and when it would be better to use a custom
'FooCatalog' in a subfolder somewhere for specific purposes. For example,
I've created a catalogaware ZClass to store breakfast and lunch menus for
our schools. I'd like to query a ZCatalog somewhere to pull out a menu for a
certain day or a range of days. Would it promote catalog-bloat (if such a
thing exists) to store those in the root 'Catalog' with all of the resulting
indexes and meta data?

-Tim
