I have yet to figure out how to map a TransientObject "state" back
to the object it represents, but it clearly is possible.
I didn't see a response to that bit yet, so: "the state" of an object P is
whatever P.__getstate__() returns. Given such a return value `state`, and
some object Q of the same type as P, Q.__setstate__(state) gives Q the same
state P had. What state "means" is entirely up to the type's __setstate__()
and __getstate__() implementations (if any). Objects deriving from
Persistent inherit (by default) implementations that retrieve and update an
instance's __dict__. BTrees.Length is a good example of a class that
overrides these methods, using an integer as "the state".
Plagiarism! ;)
