Has anyone given thought to maybe providing a more general class with

for simple counters and I guess it can also be used for just simple

some sort of factory defined at the moment of instantiation?
Assuming this is even possible, having such a general purpose
conflict resolution class defined in the Zope products directory
might make it easier to distribute a third-party product that needs a
little conflict resolution. Just a thought.
Custom CR code is *hard* to get right: most people would be better
off
using stock code (e.g., on of the tree types defined in the BTrees
package, or Length). Those who can get it right aren't likely to need
their hands held. ;)
I meant easier for the end user, not the developer. It's kind of
complicated right now to explain how to set up a ZEO configuration to
work with your third-party product. Makes it a bit of hurdle to
distribute such a thing for general use.
Oops, I just realized that Length won't work for simple assignments
as the conflict resolution assumes it's trying to resolve a counter
(which should have been obvious, I know). Is there zope core class I
can use for a simple assignment, that maybe resolves conflicts by
just picking the last value assigned?
