So long as it doesn't break anything - it's an excellent idea.

Gotta agree with that! - *every* time I have to explain about namespaces and
the like to someone in our group who just wants to display the number of the
row returned from a ZSQL query I silently curse Zope (but very silently, and
under my breath, for indeed - it is a *powerful* system and has sharp pointy
teef!).

Please DC troops - if this *isn't* a dealstopper anywhere, can we have this
in 2.3.1? Pretty please?

Tone out.
