I've been thinking about that one, just in general, trying to figure out which
of the many WTDI (ways to do it) works best -- I think I will add a thumb rule
to my list of Zopeisms as follows:

  * Any use of "manage_*" methods from within Python (not PythonMethods,
   though -- they don't have access to the Right Stuff) is highly suspect,
   and signals a need to refactor somewhere.  This includes just about
   any method which takes REQUEST or RESPONSE as explicit parameters.
