Due to the lack of other viable suggestions, I implemented this version and 
checked it in.

While Godefroid and Martijn argued heavily for other options, they would 
require serious changes in the ZCML framework, which would require a detailed 
proposal. Note that we just came out of a ZCMLgeddon and everyone who looked 
at the results closely likes it a lot, so that it is very unlikely that a 
proposal for a rewrite will be accepted.
