RE: [Zope-dev] ZPatterns: getItem returns None

How useful/difficult would it be to put the SMB protocol on top of a ZEO server? As serialized formats are build, would this be useful to anyone? I'm not sure how hard it would be, although currently ZEO servers need not know about anything but strings (they don't necessarily need the code
