I suspect i was missing something, but i assumed since he was referring to
an attribute of the object, that morten did not mean to write a function
call form.  I probably should have presumed toward attribute lookup:
self.aq_base.attribute or getattr(self.aq_base, 'attribute') - and been
explicit that i was reading between the lines, in the first place.
