[Zope] Copying and pasting Z Class instances

[Alexander Staubo]

I'm talking about instances of ZClasses -- not the ZClasses objects
themselves. Here's a cut/paste traceback:

Traceback (innermost last):

"His latest [comic-book hero] was the very exemplar of political
correctitude, being a small black boy, who, in the company of his
lovable pet pooch, righted social wrongs and put bad boys to flight.
Exactly why 'The Adventures of Johnny Foreigner and Dildo the Dog'
had so far failed to impress prospective publishers was quite
beyond him." --Robert Rankin, _Apocalypso_
