We lose context because context is about reusing the code for different
instances. That is context is to support method-like behavior. When you
start doing that, you are no longer scripting active content. You should
switch to being a developer and create components.

Subpath is a pretty advanced feature. Is it really something a scripter
needs?  I don't think it's described in the Zope book.
