yes I have the go4 book and I fully agree that one or other of the above
patterns would be feasible. The problem is that the base medusa comes
from Sam Rushing and Zope makes use of it. I guess since I already patch
the Zope code I could just extend the patch, but the best solution would
come from having two main players agree on such stuff.
