yes, but the thing I edit and use quite happily is designed specifically
to override the standard behaviour in the class of the ZClass. I own the
method and FTP is not exactly trying to call it or anything. I'm trying
to get it. I can get all the other methods in the methods sheet why not
this particular one. What 'context' am I supposed to be using with FTP?
Seems to me if I can edit delete replace my filtered_meta_types in my
ZClass through the management interface I ought to be able to do the
same through FTP. Of course I'm barmy enough to demand some kind of
consistency which I ought not to in the 'Zope' context.

What other kinds of idiotic naming problems can one expect?
