Sure, but I'm of course referring to how it behaves by default,
including the associations made by the grokking process.
I think that makes sense in a webapp, but not otherwise, and we should
at least as a start concentrate on the generic component architecture
case.

And the same goes for zope.component support, of course.

With martian, the registration is then done by the grokking process,
but I think decorators would be a process that is more acceptable to
the Python world in general. Instances does indeed require something
else than decorators, I hadn't thought of that, that's a drawback.
