[Zope-dev] Catalog result brains not extendable

[Chris McDonough]

But you know, now that I think of it, I don't even know that Record
objects have a __dict__ to them, so thus I'm not sure if even an
external method would work.  The best idea here would be to use a
"brain" object, although there's no documented way to do it.
