[Zope] Iterating descendants of base Z Class, how?

[Alexander Staubo]

Not really, because the same is accomplished (albeit surely less
efficiently) using the syntax I cite below, but thanks for the
suggestion -- I didn't realize objectValues() could accept a sequence.

Maybe objectValues() should be augmented with a second parameter:
acceptDescendants, default value 0. So,

  <!--#in "objectValues(['Project'], 1)"-->
  ...

would give project instances and any descendant instances of the Project
class. How about it?
