You could use part of the old style initialization, the "methods"
declaration to be precise.

You see an example in ".../Products/ZSQLMethods/__init__.py".

Be warned, however: the old style initialization puts
the declared methods on the "OFS.Folder" class.

Thus, you better choose a name that is unlikely to conflict
with other methods that might be relevant for classes
derived from "Folder"...
