_.getitem implements a lot of namespace magic, including complex lookup
rules and automatic rendering. There are more explicit substitutes,
though:
1. getattr(object, stuff): Use if you know which object (context or
container, for instance) has an attribute that you are looking for, or
can acquire it.
2. f[stuff]: Use to get an object contained in Folder "f".
3. container.REQUEST.get(stuff): Use to get a value from the REQUEST.
