Yeah, that example isn't particulary helpful. It's got code which  
isn't used (such as the schema default) and it doesn't work  
(MammothSize needs to inherit from grok.Adapter). Perhaps a more  
simple example could be used ... but for now I've just removed the  
example. I also *attempted* to clarify the usage of grok.adapts() with:

In the case of a simple adapter which only requires a single object
for adapation, the :func:`grok.context` directive is used to declare
the interface or class the adapter is for. It is only necessary to use
:func:`grok.adapts` to declare the adapation requirements for a multi  
adapter.

But for a simple adapter, one can:

  - not declare the context when it's unambigous
  - declare the context when it is ambigous, or delcare it for the  
sake of declartion with grok.context()
  - use grok.adapts() instead of grok.context()

So maybe the text should be updated to reflect that, or is there a  
strong enough style conses that a particular method is used for  
registering simple adapters (e.g. using grok.context over grok.adapts)?
