[Zope] Zope Troubleshooting Tip (learn from my mistake)

[Stefan H. Holek]

Welcome to the dark side of the DTML namespace :-)

I just recently had a similiar experience where in a project I have a 
folder called 'user'. Well, as it turned out I could not edit users in 
acl_users anymore, because the edit screen would prefer the folder over an 
argument with the same name...
