To add a novice's perspective: When I first learned Zope, I tried the syntax: adapter = IFoo(context1, context2) It took me hours and the help of Philipp to determine why context2 was being returned. I saw the symmetry between IFoo(context) and a cast in other languages and figured I'd just cast

Hey, My opinions: It'd be nice if getMultiAdapter's functionality was in reach without typing: import zope.component; zope.component.getMultiAdapter. The IFoo() single adapter lookup shows us a way to make this possible: a method (in this case __call__ on the interface). It does bother me on
