Archetypes (somewhat spuriously) always creates these when you implement 
interfaces for references and properties, and the usual base classes do 
this for you.

You may get out of it by changing your Type, or you can declare that you 
don't implement those interfaces (although really you do.) This is 
somewhat suspect and may prove brittle if you change base classes (a 
weakness of the interface implementation). I do it anyway just to get 
rid of it with code. To do this, you must declare your own 
'__implements__' with everything but the offending interfaces left out.
