Bobo^H^H^H^HZPublisher call's an object's 'index_html' method, if no method
is specified.

So if you want your __call__ method to be considered the default published
method here's how to do it:

class CallMe:
  "defines __call__ as the default publishing method"

  def __call__(self):
    "call the object"
    ...

  index_html=__call__

Pretty simple.
