[Zope] Simple ZSQL question -- variable expansion in dtml-if?

[Jim Sanford]

If X is being returned from an html form it will actually be a string. (Putting "X:int" in the parameter line of the ZSQL method
will not coerce it to an integer.) In that case use "_.int(X)==1"  etc. or make the varaible name "X:int" in your form.

I have production code that uses this exact type of test.

That's pretty close to what I did at the beginning and what I just
triied just now -- X doesn't get expanded for the conditional inside
a ZSQL object AFAICT.
