Use IFolderish.providedBy(aq_base(context)) or
aq_base(context).isPrincipiaFolderish attribute on the item from
*unrestricted) Python and portal_interface tool from everywhere else
to check against IFolderish.

I really don't imagine that using the portal_interface tool (from
TALES expessions in actions, workflow, and menus) is inefficient.

You could, but it will not be faster than checking an interface using
portal_interface or using IFolderish.providedBy().  Given the utility
lookup, even if you memoized this on the utility per type, you still
end up with the overhead of looking up the utility.

Directly checking isPrincipiaFolderish attribute is likely to be the
quickest, but likely less favorable than checking for IFolderish.
