If developers are adding things to containers this way, my guess is that 
they're well on their way to working with specific interfaces and using 
adapters.

This is probably a matter of personal preference, but I'm much happier 
with the explicit use of adapted objects because it tells me exactly 
what's going on.

Btw, what about the other methods: remove, move?, others? With all of 
Zope 3's support for explicit interfaces, do we really want to lump all 
of this into zapi?
