ZSQLMethods do this in __bobo_traverse__, through a rather complicated
system of temporary traversal objects.  Once the new traversal machinery is
in place, you'll be able to do it in either __bobo_traverse__ or
__before_publishing_traverse__ (the former if you want to be able to do it
all the time, the latter only during ZPublisher traversal) by manipulating
REQUEST['TraversalRequestNameStack'].  The specifics of this are still in
flux.
