[Zope-CMF] is this tiny patch to CMFCore/Expression.py okay?

Two objections:

 1. When "object" is not acquisition wrapped, then "aq_parent(object)"
    is not its parent (but "object" itself). Thus, "parent" is
    not an adequate term, especially for this use case.

 2. We sometimes hear about CMF related problems in the various mailings lists.

    Some of them happen often (e.g. extremely sluggish under Win
    with "debug-mode on" ;-) ) and therefore merit quite some
    effect to get them fixed.
    And some are extremely rare
    (e.g. "lacking a predefined variable 'parent' bound to
    'aq_parent(object)'") and therefore it is doubtful that
    the CMF should become more complex to satisfy the respective
    use cases -- especially when there are (quite) easy solutions
    already.

    Based on these considerations,
    you have picked a problem of quite low practical importance ;-)
