[Zope] python: calling DTML-methods without quoting

Sorry, my fault. This should read
<dtml-with "somePath">
    <dtml-var someDTML>
</dtml-with>

This would be no problem. However I need zope to do this automatically 
so I don't have to change the dtml-var calls in the customer's code. So 
my thought is to alter the __call__ method of DTMLMethod.py which is 
kind of ugly in case I want to update Zope later on.

I KNOW that :-) I don't use DTML myself. As I said I try to get a 
customer's stuff run on a curent version of zope. I would love to clean 
up his stuff and convert is to tal.
