[ZODB-Dev] An interface for broken objects?

[Hanno Schlichting]

Hi.

We currently have a package called "zope.broken" whose entire real content is:

import zope.interface

class IBroken(zope.interface.Interface):
    """Marker interface for broken objects
    """

This is used for example by zope.container, which won't try to set
__name__ and __parent__ pointers on these objects.

Is this something that could be put into the ZODB itself and have the
ZODB.broken.Broken class directly implement this interface?

Thanks,
Hanno
