I don't think this would help me as this is mainly (I think) for
adding skins methods, which I have already done. What I need is to
override how my custom item folders are viewed from the std interface.

Last time I looked, (couple of weeks ago) the default folder view
has something that was hard-coded and prevented me from simply
providing a skin for just *my* folder product. Being as my brain
can't remember anything more than a few hours old any more, I can't
remember exactly what it was, but folder viewing was handled a bit
differently from other CMF items and was not as implicitly skinnable
as other items.

Once in my skin methods, I can control what methods are used from
there (somewhat), but the initial folder view I couldn't override.
I did add actions to the Item, one of which is the item's folderish
view method, but it's confusing to have two different ways to view
the folderish item.

I would very much appreciate it.

Thanks!
