It is a wide spread misconception that "aq_explicit" disables
acquisition. It fact, it does not disable but only restrict
acquisition:

    "o.aq_explicit" returns an explicit acquisition
    wrapper for "o". An explicit acquisition wrapper
    does not automatically forward lookup to the
    "parent" (if the lookup in "self" fails).
    However, if "self" is itself a wrapped object,
    the lookup's are performed in both its self
    and parent. This gives some implicite acquisition behaviour.
