[Zope] page templates and "python:"

[Chris McDonough]

Actually, I think python: expressions perform slightly better than  
their path: counterparts because their evaluation step needs to do  
less work (no guessing about getitem vs. getattr).  Geoff Davis  
taught me that.  But in the end it's all dwarfed by the penalty  
imposed by security, so it really doesn't much matter.
