[Zope-CMF] PortalObject, PortalFolder, SkinnedFolder and __call__

[Christian Heimes]

While I was working on the CMF 1.5 integration into AT and 
ATContentTypes for Plone 2.1 I had some issues with the view on folders. 
After some digging I found these interesting results:

CMFCore.PortalObject defines __call__ to use method aliases and 
_getViewFor() as fallback, view = __call__ and index_html = None.

CMFDefault.SkinnedFolder defines __call__ to use _getViewFor(), view = 
__call__ and index_html = None

CMFCore.PortalFolder doesn't hook into index_html/__call__ publishing at 
all.


What's the reason PortalFolder doesn't define __call__ at all? Shouldn't 
it use __call__ to get the view from method aliases or _getViewFor() as 
fallback?

Why does SkinnedFolder still uses the old and deprecated way as default 
way to get the view and why does it ignore method aliases completly? IMO 
SkinnedFolder.__call__ is buggy and wasn't fixed when method aliases 
were introduced.
