As is the definition of "__of__".

I do not follow you:

  Where is the magic with "if hasattr(local_utilitiy, '__of__')"
  compared to "if ICMFTool.providedBy(local_utilitiy)".

  I feel the "ICMFTool" marker interface (almost like all marker
  interfaces) as more magic.

Your notion of "pretty" is very much different from mine...

If "local_utilitiy" has an "__of__", then it almost surely expects
that it is used in the standard way -- whether or not some magic
marker interface is there....

Could you explain?

In the Zope 2 world, non acquisition wrapped objects behave very strange
(as indicated in an earlier message).
Do you want to introduce special cases only that you can use Zope 3 magic?
