This sort of misdirection has, unfortunately, a long history in Zope 3
(and the various things that's become). Witness __name__. (There are
others, but most aren't *actually* used by Python implementations.)
Removing existing __*__ name ("underware") usage is probably
untenable, but I hope we can avoid extending our foolishness.
