Is there an event for customer account registration in Magento?

I would like to be able to run some functionality with a module that I am building whenever a customer registers an account, but I can't seem to find any event that is fired upon a new customer registration.

Does anybody know of an event that is dispatched for that?

Whenever I'm looking for an event, I'll temporarily edit the Mage.php file to output all the events for a particular request.

File: app/Mage.php
public static function dispatchEvent($name, array $data = array())
{
    Mage::log('Event: ' . $name); //not using Mage::log, as 
    //file_put_contents('/tmp/test.log','Dispatching '. $name. "\n",FILE_APPEND); //poor man's log
    Varien_Profiler::start('DISPATCH EVENT:'.$name);
    $result = self::app()->dispatchEvent($name, $data);
    #$result = self::registry('events')->dispatch($name, $data);
    Varien_Profiler::stop('DISPATCH EVENT:'.$name);
    return $result;
}

and then perform whatever action it is I'm trying to hook into. Magento events are logically named, so scanning/sorting through the resulting logs usually reveals what I'm after.
