Zope 2.4.X allows to have multiple splitters. So you can write your own splitter. The only disadvantage is that there is currently no offical API (except monkeypatching) to add custom splitters (but there is a already a proposal in the fishbowl to address this problem).
_and_ the default splitters are written in C, and therefore very fast. Also, what's the level of zcatalog-fu that's needed to write a splitter, or even modify an existing one? I'd hazard to say it's pretty high... Oh, look... another "How do I get a catalog to index numbers correctly?" post since I sent my question. Hrm. Are you sure there's not a better answer to the reasoning for this behaviour than "it's dumb"? Richard
