Hmm... I'm not sure this is useful unless we map standard utilities to
the equivalently functioning tool (which I don't think is a good idea).
 So if thats not the case, and developers need to learn all the new
names, I'd suggest they use the standard zope3 way of looking up utilities.

Just my opinion of course.
