No, "manage_addProduct" returns a "ProductDispatcher" instance
(class defined in the "App" package).
However, it defines a partial mapping API (it defines "__getitem__",
therefore, you can access it via "[...]").

It is a ZClass method ("ZClasses.ZClass.ZClass").
There is a little source code documentation for its definition
(a so called "DocString").
