Well. It didn't work.  I can't find any way to get around using 
bobo_traverse to locate and call class methods, zope DB objects *and*
filesystem 'objects', and with v_variables broken in bobo_traverse,
I'm not sure how to accomplish what's needed without every request
becoming a Zope database transaction.

Does anyone have an idea of how to obtain the equivalent of the
v_variable behavior that is available in __getitem__ and __getattr__
from inside of bobo_traverse?  If we could figure this out, it'd
be a cinch.

Thanks
Kent
