To access an object's own props (and get an error if it doesn't find
them instead of looking up the aq-chain) you don't need to remove it's
acquisition wrappers, you just need to tell him not to use acquisition
implicitly. The way you do that is to ask the object for a
non-implicit-acquisition version of itself, that is, an explicit
acquisition object:

non_implicit_obj = obj.aq_explicit

obj.some_attr

or just:

obj.aq_explicit.some_attr

for short.

This way, 'some_attr' won't be looked up in the object's acquisition
chain
