This kind of thing will not generally be possible for code that is on 
the filesystem. It will be possible, and well-supported, for code that 
is stored in the ZODB.

You'll be able to check code out of Zope, with a cvs-like command, alter 
it, and check it back in. It will be "refreshed" as you check it back in.
