Quick: I think that's naive, since JobList derives from Persistent and
AFAIK that makes it a new-style class.  New-style classes *do* have a
__call__ attribute:

  >>> class X(object): pass

  >>> X.__call__
  <method-wrapper object at 0x401f49cc>
  >>> 

We may have to wait until Jim's back from vacation.
