I don't see how VisualZope is going to help me here, unless as example code?

I'm just trying to make a folderish object that has a set of other objects
that are addable (which then are not addable in normal folders). Sort of like
in the Product View you can only add Products. But I studied that code and
I couldn't make a lot of sense of it.

Anyway, my approach is quite unambitious, at least compared to VisualZope. :)
I'm sure there are synergies between my system and VisualZope, but I just
want to get my system done first.

Hm, I know this, but I don't understand why this is relevant, I'm afraid.

I'll see about taking a look at the latest VisualZope, though. Thanks!
