Hi Guido, this is a little follow-up. I didn't forget about it!

So here the bad news:
After changing the C code to use the new style, and also changing
all occourances in Python code, I used this on Zope, and
ExtensionClass did not play well, it cannot stand this protocol
unchanged. Zope won't start.

Therefore, I reverted my changes and now I'm waiting for the
day where ExtensionClass is no loger used.
(or should I patch *that* complicated stuff as well?)
