[Zope-CMF] What's the CMF way to override a method

[marc lindahl]

It's a bit of a pain... but by making a ZClass Product that inherits (only)
from the CMF thing you want to override, then make a method in there that's
the same name, with the new stuff.  Then make a factory based type out of
the new thing.  Pain?  well, not TOO bad...  then you'd disable the regular
File in portal_types (just delete it, or change the permissions).
