[Zope-dev] make zope.component.registry.Components inherit from dict?

We've been handling some constructive criticisms from repoze.bfg developers with respect to verbosity resulting from use of unnamed utility registrations in a component architecture registry. These criticisms, and our ameliorations are detailed here:

You may have Zope Component Developer's Eyes, a common disease in these parts. ;-) The goggles, they do nothing. Under the hood, the system does something like this when a root factory needs to be registered: from repoze.bfg.interfaces import IRootFactory from zope.component import
