[Zope] Accessing Dictionary Values with URL Traversal

Fri, 24 Aug 2001 11:05:39 +0200

It's a "big" and non-intuitive idea.
Can you please take a few examples of who this could be useful, and much
better than the ObjectManager.
I like the idea of being able to put up quick URLs for things, but can't
think of a real-world example.
