Why? People need it right now. And they do crazy things like 
cut&paste-in-place and double-renaming because they don't have this API!

The last time I saw the wheel reinvented is this product with own 
ordering API: <http://www.zope.org/Members/gregweb/CMFCollection>

That's what I wanted to say. Default Folders use _objects. This way we 
can test for BTreeFolder2 and disable move methods.

Well, this could be a different proposal. It's included in this proposal 
because using the move methods needs position sorting selected. (Showing 
move up/down buttons with other sortings is just confusing.)
But we didn't want to change the default sorting.
