[Zope] DTML namespace lookups

[Matt Gregory]

Gosh darnit I love the way the human mind works.  Solved my own problem
again.

In a call the DTMLDocument method __call__ the client parameter is implicity
(defaults to) none, instead of what is *should* be: itself.  So the
namespace contained no client, and thus nothing to look up.  In order for
the call to properly execute I had to change that line of dtml from:
<dtml-var "leftnav['patientleftnav']()">
to:
<dtml-var "leftnav['patientleftnav'](leftnav['patientleftnav'])">
In my honest opinion this function should be changed to work so that if
client=None then client=_.
