I don't undertand why you say that this isn't possible in Zope.

I agree that there is too much implicitness in Zope 2. I don't agree
that persistance is a part of that. It isn't implicit at all. Maybe
it's not easy to understand, but it isn't particularily implicit, and
neither is it uncontrollable, as you seem to say.
