 While integrating the Zope component architecture and its many concepts into

 All classes, which wanted to interact with Zope2 in any non-trivial way, had to
 inherit from the Acquisition base classes. As a result almost no external
 package could directly work inside Zope2 but required an integration layer.

 Classes implementing this interface get `__parent__` pointers set to their
 container object, when being put into the container. Code that operates on such
 objects can then walk up the containment hierarchy by following the pointers.
