Okay ... looking at the WorkflowTool.doActionFor method I see you can pass
a lot to that function.
So let me see if I get this:
the ob argument is the object I want to do something with.
the action argument would - in this case - be 'setStatusOf'
the wf_if is 'default_workflow'
I can leave out the **args and the **kw arguments ??
