<chuckle> This happens to be the simplest case, since it *isn't* Python's
getattr -- it's careful_getattr.

In fact, I included a patch to careful_getattr in my original post!  The
others are more painful, since they involve patching DocumentTemplate name
parameter handling and <shudder> cDocumentTemplate, respectively.

Anyway, in the absence of an altered _.getattr, what would be the best way
to get an unrendered equivalent of <dtml-var a/b/c>?
