That definition matches the reality, but in CachingPolicyManager.py
in a comment it has this: 

            'content' -- the content object itself

which I took at face value for far too long.

I would like that.

That makes sense.  Is there a way to do that with the CMF 1.4
version of the "CPM"?  One could, I suppose, test the names of the
FSDV folders in CPM predicates, but that seems a royal PITA.  That's
why I'm making do with one-size-fits-all CPM policy for now.
