I am also very interested in learning about this. I have several Zope2
applications that use traverse_subpath in Python scripts to put pretty
urls on records retrieved from MySQL, like this:

http://foo.com/listings/6060842/RockLobster.html

... which returns record # 6060842 from the MySql `listings` table. The
"RockLobster.html" part is ignored by the app -- it's a decoration that
is supposed to boost Google page rank.

I would like to start doing these things in Z3. I have spent some time
looking through the source and the API docs, but the easy way is not
obvious to me either.
