[Zope] TransientObjectContainer.keys()

[Shannon -jj Behrens]

Chris, 

Thank you for your reply!  I'm using 2.6.  According to the API docs, 
TransientObject has a keys method, but TransientObjectContainer doesn't.
Looking at TransienceInterfaces.py confirms that TransientObject implements
DictionaryLike whereas TransientObjectContainer doesn't.  Am I confused?

Best Regards,
-jj

Hacker is to software engineer as 
Climbing Mt. Everest is to building a Denny's there.
