So is it true then, if I have a class:

class MyObject(object):
    ...

And a factory defined in ZCML:

<class class=".MyObject">
  <factory
      id="me.MyObject"
      description="Create a new MyObject"
      />
</class>

MyObject() and createObject("me.MyObject") will do the same thing and create 
the same object?

If I recall from Zope 2 development, you couldn't just do the former, but 
it's been awhile and I remember just enough to taint my mind when working in 
Zope 3.

Thanks!
