I suppose some people don't like the idea of a string query language,
but I am challenged to come up with a better solution. Even the %o hack
is justified. And IC has made it so it is theoretically possible to plug
in other syntaxes, if it bothers you enough.

I've spoken to Sidnei about this today. I'm of the opinion that, Shelf
excluded, most of IC might fit in nicely with Zope. Shelf is really for
people rolling their own, but I see no problem with the rest of the
code.

Anybody on ZODB-dev have an opinion on this?

Take care,
