You can use "aq_explicit" but it is not completely safe (although
it will work in most cases).

The best way would be to apply the patch "hasattr_unacquired"
you find in the Zope collector (hopefully, it will be included
in Zope 2.7). Of course, this requires full control over the
Zope installation.

Finally, you can implement the "hasattr_unacquired" in an External
Method and use this.
