Please don't encourage this.

People reading this, please forget you read Tim's email. :)
(Jim whips out special pen and asks that everyone look in his
direction for a moement.)

zope.deferred import should, perhaps, be modified to use
peak.util.proxies, but we should not have packages floating around
that modify zope.proxy to weaken it.

I wish I had agitated to make changes to Python to make deferred
imports use of zope.proxy unnecessary.
