Actually, I was thinking about a function that gets called just before
the object gets pickled for insertion into the ZODB, which would allow
me to set a 'connected' variable to some meaningfule value.  Setting a
variable just before garbage collection is fairly meaningless.  The
database connection already has a close call in the destructor.
