[Grok-dev] Adding indexes with the same field names

There might be other, more straightforward, options, but one that
might work (I didn't test it), is to have an interface like this:

  class IHaveATitle(interface.Interface):
      title = schema.TextLine(title=u"Title", required=True)
      # no more fields after this

And then make IBook and IArticle not implement the "title" schema
attribute directly. Then you can have Book (resp. Article) either
implement both IHaveATitle and IBook (resp. IArticle) or have IBook
and IArticle inherit from IHaveATitle (which is simpler).

In either case, you wouldn't have *_title attributes in BookIndexes
and ArticleIndexes, but would have an TitleIndex class instead with a
"grok.context(IHaveATitle)" declaration.

You could have BookIndexes and ArticleIndexes for the other Book and
Article fields if necessary, of course.

Cheers, Leo
