FYI, if you want to play with this before then, the current release of the
PlugIns package has support for the proposed behavior in the
PlugInContainer class, using a code snippet cribbed from Zope CVS.  So you
should be able to make PIC subclasses with overrideable methods.  I put in
that support because I wanted Specialists and such to be able to use
overrideable methods.  I haven't gotten around to actually putting any in,
though.
