So I was explaining this to someone here the other day(after I had
told them what legal ZOPE variables were) and an obvious question is
"well since these are so common why do they have illegal zope variable
names?"  Is it historical?  Also would it be possible to have copies
of the varaibles availiable with names such as sequence_item in future
releases?
