---------------

    Note: as of this writing the 'aq_inContextOf' examples don't
    work. According to Jim, this is because 'aq_inContextOf' works by
    comparing object pointer addresses, which (because they are
    actually different wrapper objects) doesn't give you the expected
    results. He acknowledges that this behavior is controversial, and
    says that there is a collector entry to change it so that you
    would get the answer you expect in the above. (We just need to get
    to it).

       A search on collector.zope.org for aq_inContextOf returns nothing.
       Has this issue been resolved? Was there ever a collector issue for it?
       In other words, does aq_inContextOf work or not?
