Yes I know that. It would typically be an external method wich looks 
like this:

def addBirthdayAttribute(self):
    "migrates"
    meta_type = 'Some Product'
    objects = self.ZopeFind(self,
            obj_metatypes=[meta_type], search_sub=1)
    for path, obj in objects:
        if not hasattr(obj, 'birthday'):
            obj.birthday = 0

But the other approach would give new users a different feel.
