[Zope] Set "uncontained" attributes on a Implicitly wrapped object.

[Etienne Labuschagne]

Not quite sure what the end result is you want, or that I understand you 
question - do you want it wrapped or not?

Anyway, to unwrap the object I do the following:
unwrappedOb = Acquisition.aq_base(wrappedOb)
unwrappedOb.someAttribute #this will now not traverse to the aq_parents to 
search if this attr doesn't exist.

this is better than ob.aq_base as it works for "unwrapped" objects too 
without raising an AttributeError if the ob doesn't have the aq_base.

To wrap the object with an acquisition context (not sure my lingo is 
correct here), I've had joy with:
wrappedOb = Acquisition.ImplicitAcquisitionWrapper([unwrappedOb,self])

where self could be anything already Acquisition wrapped.
