[Zope3-dev] change addform default property setting

[Gary Poster]

I propose changing the default property setting time in an add form from 
set_after_add to set_before_add.

Rationale:

AFAIK the add event is fired after the object is added to the folder. 
This is before set_after_add.  Any code that wants to react to this 
event--an index, for instance--will only see the attributes set up to 
that point.  set_after_add attributes are unset.  This is inconvenient 
for cataloging new objects.

It is very useful to have the ability to set attributes after the object 
has been contextually wrapped (set_after_add's purpose, I assume) but I 
propose that this requirement is the exception, not the rule.

A better solution that I'm not sure how to implement: the add event is 
postponed until after set_after_add.

Thoughts?  Corrections?
