I wouldn't feel badly that you didn't know about an edge case like 
'same_type'.  Some weirdness like that is due to the fact that Zope 
tries to allow "untrusted" code to do most of what "normal" Python can 
do, but the "normal" Python facilities are potentially exploitable to 
break out of the "untrusted" jail, so we have to provide workarounds.
