Nothing.

  Look at section "3.2 Acquisition". You learn their about
  "implicit" and "explicit" acquisition wrappers.

  "aq_explicit" takes an implicit acquisition wrapper and
  returns the corresponding explicit acquisition wrapper,
  i.e. the one with the same "aq_self" and "aq_parent".
  As the result is an explicit wrapper, attribute lookups
  are only performed (automatically) in "aq_self" and
  no longer in "aq_parent". This gives you the expected
  result as long as "aq_self" is not itself a wrapped object.

  In simple case, "aq_self" is not a wrapper, in more complex
  cases, it can be, however.
