There seems to be danger that this great support through a community member will have a fate similar to Tino's "in" patch:
What has happened to that?
Evan put up a proposal derived from Tino's patch at http://dev.zope.org/Wikis/DevSite/Proposals/PrefixedTagVariables ... it's not quite the same but it serves the same purpose.
Yeah, and it also breaks the code of everyone who adopted Tino's patch, unless we continue to update and apply the patch even after DC's fix is in. DC ignored the community's requests for a fix, as well as community-supplied patches, for a long time. So the community dealt with the problem in the open source spirit - Tino gave us a very nice and simple patch, and we gratefully adopted it. Now that DC finally wake up, they come up with a solution that penalizes everyone who did not just sit there waiting for DC to offer a fix. And what's their justification for this? That some people might have defined variables named 'sequence_index' or 'sequence_item'. Everybody please stand up who ever defined such a variable. Ok, rant over. So I need more sleep.
