Summary: Function's __name__ no longer accessible in restricted mode

Initial Comment:
This change breaks an obscure bit of Zope's security
machinery,
which uses the __name__ of a function to construct the
synthetic
attribute name under which the roles for a method are
stored.

Assigned to me, and boosted priority, since this should be
