Great work! Thanks for figuring this out. I had an unfinished response 
to your original email about this problem where I basically was trying 
to figure out if there wasn't a much easier solution. Because I remember 
having thought about this problem, too, and thinking that either 
something in zope.traversing or in grok could be done much simpler.

I suppose your change in zope.traversing is fine now and can be merged 
to the 3.4 branch as well.
