I thought I'd seen it all when it came to Zope being bad, but this is
TRULY horrible, it even beats (_,_.None,...) and I thought that would
never happen...

Can someone please tell me why folder.id is a method and
everything-else.id is a string?

Should I chuck this in the collector? (I think I will anyway! :P)

Excuse me while I go off to be sick ;-)
