I think you are using Zope wrong. You do not need such a methid, the 
Transaction machinery does it for you. If you have a dictionary, you should 
use persistent dictionary, so it will be updated. 

I am positive that there will be never something like a refresh() method in 
Zope, either Zope 2 or 3.
