[Zope-CMF] Content Types

[alan runyan]

Plone does this by auto-assigning id's - although you can change the id.
what you probably want is to to mixin your own class that after
manage_afterAdd or __init__ or something
will look up in a tool the next number to get.  or choose it from a sequence
in a RDBMS.
I think doing it through a SEQUENCE in a RDBMS may be best way.

you could also use Gadfly but you would have to manually do it ... and there
could be concurrency issues.
