Yes, what much I know.
I find Plugins really useful for dynamically assigning content and =
behavior
to objects at run-time.
What I want to do is to make plugins created inside regular ZODB =
objects,
delegate there storage to ZPatterns.
As I see it might be possible to have both ZODB-based plugins =
(subclassed=20
from PlugIn) or virtual plugin objects (subclassed from PlugInBase) =
getting=20
attributes and/or properties from a Customizer.
So is it worth a shot?
