What do you think?
My own feeling is that this is a misuse of __deepcopy__: if you ask for a copy (of a mutable object) then you should get a copy (for immutable objects copying isn't necessary).
I agree it that the Persistent.__deecopy__ thing does smell like misuse on my part. However I'd be happy to hear any alternative suggestion you have on how to solve the problem I have. Meanwhile, I thought of a nice backwards-compatible way to implement what I suggest, but I want to know whether this idea makes sense at all to the people here. Ram.
