[Zope] Getting an objects properties

Most objects that support properties are derived from PropertyManager, which
contains these methods:

    def propertyIds(self):
        """Return a list of property ids """

    def propertyValues(self):
        """Return a list of actual property objects """

    def propertyItems(self):
        """Return a list of (id,property) tuples """

    def propertyMap(self):
        """Return a tuple of mappings, giving meta-data for properties """

See the source for PropertyManager.py for more info.
