I'll see if i can work up a patch too.

It also illustrates *my* point: This particular use case is very simply stated, I do not agree that it's an edge case, and current solutions are much too subtle and non-obvious. If we leave it to people to re-discover this solution, or document a particular idiom such as yours (where?), the hapless admin who comes across this code for the first time is *still* going to have to look at it and say "what the heck does that do?", and if he doesn't find the particular bit of proposed documentation, there is a good chance he could accidentally break it in for some case. -- Paul Winkler http://www.slinkp.com _______________________________________________ Zope-Dev maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope )
