[Zope-CMF] getting the items that a dcworkflow worklist define

[Rocky Burt]

It seems to me that this would be a pretty useful thing in standard 
DCWorkflow.  Is there any chance of worklists having more work done to them
in core DCWorkflow?  Have you submitted this patch to the DCWorkflow people?
