Philipp also has some ideas (not too far off completion, I believe) that 
may remove some of the acquisition intermingling. I'm not sure they'd 
apply here.

Spend some time in AccessControl/ImplPython.py. :)

And sometimes we have methods that can legitimately take a 'context' 
parameter. Quite often, this is because we were really after a view, 
though. For example, most of PloneTool.py is a hodge-podge of random 
things that were needed in page templates and Script (Python)'s but that 
people wanted in filesystem code.
