It's indeed rather hard to understand. I'm just going to give you the 
results of my reading in the hope things will help.

The goal of this code is to make sure that two things happen (in the 
case grok.context() is missing on a class:

* give an error if there's also no grok.context() in the module

* give an error if auto-association happened (elsewhere, apparently),
   but there are multiple possible contexts available.

I think we should be able to find a better hook for all of this indeed, 
making the grok.context() specific code a lot smaller.

Martijn
