this is a no no. grab the object's type instance from portal_types and
create a new _actions.
NOTE portal_type._actions are LISTS. in all other tools they are tuples.
(I could be backwards ;)
if you have plone around you can look at CMFPlone/Extensions/Update.py -- I
believe it has something in there
that may help. portal_type[object.getTypeInfo().getId()]._actions is
different from portal_membership._actions
in quite a few ways. I believe we should reconcile these differences. I
think I could do it. any reason we shouldnt
have actions acting the same way throughout the entire system?
