[Zope] ZClass

[Loren Stafford]

I had the same problem. See thread 'Can't add "date" property to new ZClass'
from 1999-10-11.

Here is Michel's response:

"""
[Zope] should be a little smarter than that.  In fact, it should be
smarter for instances also and just assume a sane value (like calling
DateTime() with no arguments, which returns 'now').

Please submit to the Collector.  Should be a pretty trivial fix if you
want to take a hack at it and submit a patch, just sniff for a null
value and insert DateTime() instead of DateTime(formvalue).

"""

I didn't patch it; I submitted to Collector.
