I'd add the ability to turn on/off acquisition (off by default, import aq_base 
somewhere above), and get rid of the required marker parameter:

     _marker = []
     def hasattr(obj, attr, acquire=False):
         if not acquire:
             obj = aq_base(obj)
	 a = getattr(obj, attr, _marker)
	 return a is not _marker

     import __builtin__
     __builtin__.hasattr = hasattr

This would be lovely. :-)
