It might be better to cause common Zope objects to do what Casey proposes
(maybe via SimpleItem) as opposed to making folks keep app modtimes for
those and as opposed to changing the semantics of
bobobase_modification_time.  In Zope2, this would be achieved via a mixin
named something like Modifiable mixed in to DTML Document, File, etc.
