[Zope-dev] To the brave folks trying Zope HEAD...

| Think of it in terms of modules:
| 
| objects from BTree -> objects from BTrees.OOBTree
| objects from IOBTree -> objects from BTrees.IOBTree
| objects from OIBTree -> objects from BTrees.OIBTree
| objects from IIBTree -> objects from BTrees.IIBTree
| objects from intSet -> objects from BTrees.IIBTree

Ok.

I started with a slight variation of Shane's change_modules.py
[1]. Had to make some changes because stuff seem to have changed in
the Connection class. For example, invalidate() now expects a dict
instead of a oid. My plan is to change around line 130, where it
creates a new pickle with new_class_spec to wake the old object,
create a new one and pickle the new object. Sounds reasonable?
