Sort of.  Aquisition can be used without Zope.  If the object you want
to *provide* an attribute inherits ExtensionClass.Base, and the object
you want to *acquire* an attribute inherits Acquisition.Implicit, then
if you access the acquirer in the context of the acquired you can mimic
the behavior.

Hmm.  It seems pretty simple to me.  Perhaps if you post a snip of the
code you feel is complex we can show you were the trim it, if it needs
it.
