Inherit from Plone

Acquisition wrapped, same as Five.

But in the __init__() of this BrowserView there is the line:

    self.context = [context]

So you cannot use self.context in your code like you would do in the
other cases, but you have to use this:

    context = utils.context(self)

This is the only thing that is different from the Five BrowserView.
All the browser views in CMFPlone/browser use this.

I really hate this view, and we're not using it any more in new views in
Plone 3. This is because:

 - It makes self.context a list; this breaks compliance with the
IBrowserView interface
 - You have to use that silly utils.context() thing
 - It makes everything have a hard dependency on Products.CMFPlone
That view has been annoying me as well. Perhaps we should just get rid
of it now.

And maybe we should also not recommend it in the Plone Developer's book.


Heh. That bit of text is old, man. :)
