You can now (as of Zope 2.2) have user-defined __get/set/delattr__
methods. They have the same semantics as for standard Python, with the
following exception. User-defined __set/delattr__ methods must notify the
persistence machinery of object changes.  This is done by
setting self._p_changed to a true value or calling self.__changed__
with a true value.
