Yes, I was off track a little with my last mail. I did get that I need
to replace ModuleProxy as you say.

I'm trying to figure just what is required of the ModuleProxy class (if
not to be as complete as zope.proxy.ProxyBase). I'm not doing very well
with understanding _zope_proxy_proxy.c to even figure out what ProxyBase
does provide.
