[Zope] Defining variables

Currently we have REQUEST.set(). This is nice, but I think there is a
need for a general-purpose variable namespace that isn't related to
REQUEST (plus the fact that typing "REQUEST.set(...)" all the time isn't
so cool).

I have one specific case where it's simply arduous having to mix real
REQUEST variables -- meaning those that come in through the query string
or form data -- with actual request-related variables.

How about adding something like _.set()?
