+=item register (object | verifier) <type> <class>
+
+Registers an implementation of a wallet object or ACL verifier in the
+wallet database.  The Perl class <class> is registered as the
+implementation of an object of type <type> or an ACL verifier of scheme
+<type>, allowing creation of objects with that type or ACL lines with that
+scheme.
+
+All object and ACL implementations that come with wallet are registered by
+default as part of database initialization, so this command is used
+primarily to register local implementations of additional object types or
+ACL schemes.
