[Zope] Rendering PageTemplateFile

[sean.upton@uniontrib.com]

Online ZDG chapter on acquisition should cover: Implicit.__of__()

Any class inheriting from Implicit has the __of__() method, for wrapping its
instances in context and containment, for example:

app = Zope.app()
portal = app['myCMFSite'].__of__(app) 
##portal should acquire from parent folder

Note, in this case, portal is NOT the CMF site object, but a wrapper that
contains the CMF site object (aq_base) and proxies calls to it, and further
up the chain to the parent (aq_parent).  In your case the template object
needs to actually be a wrapper containing a PageTemplateFile object, and
reference to parents to try when it's deemed necessary to move "upward" on
the so-called namespace stack.
