Do we need a different name for Zope 3 Persistent Classes and Zope 3 
Persistent Modules too? Perhaps 'db-behaviours' and 'db-code-containers'?


I'm absolutely fine with Python having packages, modules and classes, 
and with Zope 3 having persistent packages, persistent modules and 
persistent classes.
We expect the 'persistent' variants of these things to work a bit 
differently to the standard python ones.
