Actually, I was mistaken. I was spelunking through the ZClass
code (.../lib/python/ZClasses/*.py) this weekend, working on my
filesystem dumper; *all* ZClasses declare
ZClasses.ZClass.PersistentClass as the first class in their base
class list; this class derives only from ExtensionClass.Base,
and not from Persistence.Persistent; I don't any longer know
*why* my ZClasses' '__setstate__' would not be called! The
'zope_object' flag passed to 'manage_addZClass' causes
OFS.SimpleItem.Item to be *appended* to the base class list (so
it should have no effect on the '__setstate__' lookup).
