It would be better to call manage_setStorage(zclass='meta type') rather
than tinkering with attributes directly, as manage_setStorage should always

I don't think so.  Now if only your message had arrived a bit sooner, I
wouldn't have had to write that patch just now...  :)  On the other hand,
it's a useful patch and as a side effect I also now know how to get
ComputedAttributes to operate with acquisition (relatively) cheaply.  Ah
well.  :)
