The path works now, although there's no 'depth' limiting like LDAP and
WebDAV have.  So, you better hope that there's no objects with the same 'id'
value below your point in the path.

Anyways, a query might look like:

here.portal_catalog(path='/'.join(here.getPhysicalPath()),
                    id=here.getId())

But this might fail if you have a hierarchy like this:

/foo/about
/foo/bar/about

And the 'here' in question is 'foo/about'.

It would be so very very very nice if you could do this:

here.portal_catalog(path={'query': '/'.join(here.getPhysicalPath()),
                          'depth': 1},
                    id=here.getId()
                   )
