I've since added apis for creating these more easily.
(e.g. component.provideAdapter).

Try (None, None).  None is what's uses when you specify "*"
in ZCML.  We've always made a distiction between objects
that declare some interface and those that don't.  We've pretty
much decided to drop this distinction. I even had some changes
that made it so, but we decided not to put them in 3.0.
Maybe we should consider dropping this distiction for 3.1.

No, other than from my point of view, the "features" of Bobo will
ve defined from the evolving story and so far, due to other commitments,
I haven't gotten past  "Hello world". :)
