having an object_implements index is generally useful in many ways, i don't
see it as "half a solution to an important problem" as much as a handy tool
that aids in solving many different problems.

p.s.: did you mean to take this off of the framework-team list?
Oops, no I didn't; I'll send this to the list though as it contains
the full discussion. :-) I agree that it is very useful to have, but
I still think Zope needs and will eventually have a more general
solution for this sort of thing (along with the adaption aspect as
well), it's really essential. That shouldn't prevent us from doing
something useful for us now of course.
