Hi Ross,

more documentation. I seem to keep underestemating Zope :-)
There are two things my little pool product does: it has an upper
limit of open connections to the RDBMS and when ready it will work
with any backend supported by ORM. Otherwise it's pretty useless, I
guess :-(

Right, it isn't.

The classmethod() workarounds I found didn't seem to work. We could
replace list with UserList, but the problem I see is that we would
not only have to test each modification against a number of different
backends but also against two versions of Python. I wonder if it's
worth the trouble.
