[Zope] changing the default document

[Chris McDonough]

To be thorough, you'd have to change it in a lot of places.  It's a
method of quite a few renderable object instance in your database, sort
of akin to Python's __repr__ method of an object.

If you just want to do this for your own purposes, I would suggest
writing a Python class that subclasses the Zope Folder class (in
OFS/Folder.py) and does "the right thing" when the index_dtml method is
called on it.  It would also need to have an appropriate constructor
that automagically puts an index_dtml method inside the folder when it's
instantiated.  This would have a limitation in that the root object (the
App object) would still call index_html to render itself, but all your
custom folders would be able to do the right thing for you.

Or, of course, you could just not.  :-)
