[Zope-dev] __getattr__ and Acquisition

As I said, this is an example. This getattr part is supposed to be replaced
with whatever you do to get the attribute. Otehrwise it would be rather
useless, since it wouldn't do anything that isn't already done. :-)

Well, you fix that with __of__, which is what I was going to say, but
forgot. :-)
I won't venture in giving you any example code, though, but the PortalSkins
is one place to look. Also, depending of when you want the properties from
the transparent folder to be aqcuirable you might be able to wrap the object
by calling __of__ instead of overriding it.
