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

heh, opportunity to spout out my deep zope knowledge ;-)

hasattr(object, string)
    The arguments are an object and a string. The result is 1 if the string 
    is the name of one of the object's attributes, 0 if not. 
    (This is implemented by calling getattr(object, name) and seeing whether 
    it raises an exception or not.)
