Indeed, but I'm looking to service the situation where there's already a 
table with columns x,y, and z that I'd like to become a folder of 
content objects with x,y,z. Yes, the functionality would be in a python 
class, but that might be somethign fairly generic, like the 
PropertyManager interface...

possible?
