[Zope] how can I ask an object whether it is folderish?

| | Try this:
| | 
| | if object.isFolderish():
| |  return "object is a folderish thang"
| | 
| | If it doesn't work, I'm sure I saw a method with a name kindof like that,
| | somewhere, once... urm...
| 
| if hasattr(object, isPrincipiaFolderish) and object.isPrincipiaFolderish:
|     print "object is Folderish."

oops...

if hasattr(object, 'isPrincipiaFolderish') and object.isPrincipiaFolderish:

I'm not sure how this differs from using getattr() when Acquisition comes in
though, but, this is the way it's done inside ObjectManager.

I'm pretty sure getattr will trigger the Acquisition machinery, I don't know
if hasattr does. Might be better to unwrap the object first before checking.
