It would be good to see this in the core :-)
Are you looking to do that at any stage?
We already had a discussion about this: I do not have CVS write permission because I am not ready to take responsibility with respect to the broken US patent laws, laws that allow to patent almost any stupidity and triviality (such as "one-click-purchase", "restroom reservation", "dynamic loading", ...). As Zope.com requires a commitment to defend her in any patent disputes caused by a committer, I cannot become a committer. That said, I do not mind if anybody puts the 10 lines into the Zope core. Hopefully, the idea to provide a hook for additional checks after authentication is not patented, not even in the US. Dieter
