`register()` is being used (in Clocker) to register the new
"BasicLocationDefinition" for that new named location. We could maybe do it in
init(), rebind() and unmanage(). But by having an explicit register() method
called by the entity that owns the location, we can ensure that the
LocationRegistry is only updated when the location object is completely
initialised.
