Fakers

The Fakers module is completely useless--unless, possibly, you are programming something that needs a lightweight folder-like interface, holding classes that you do not want to have to register as products. Then, it offers two conceivably useful fake folder types, one ordered and one unordered.

(Even then, I have seen the standard Zope Folder class be used in similar circumstances. Use this if you want the convenience of a folder class that performs as you wish out of the box, and is a bit lighter-weight than ObjectManager.)

See the two interface files, IFakers and IZFakers, for details. See the VirtualHostFolder product to see examples of these products in action.

You can install the ZFakeFolders and ZFakeOrderedFolders as products for testing purposes by uncommenting all commented lines in the __init__.py, but they won't do anything useful except assure you that they work and give you a feel for them.

Feedback appreciated.
