Yep.  In Zope, at least, it's still handy when the thing you are acquiring
has a non-identifier name.

When you say "are children", do you mean that you are doing something like
"aTwo.aThree.method()"?  If so, the process of fetching 'aThree' from 'aTwo'
gives it an acquisition wrapper, making explicit wrapping unnecessary.
