Since I'd like (need!) to have the __call__ bug fixed asap, I'll look
into having the __* and the _* methods ignored in REST, XMLRPC and JSON
"views".

I'll factor this filtering of methods into one function that the
subsequent grokkers can use. I'll also take care of filtering out the
method for these "view" types that really should be kept internal (like
browserDefault() and publishTraverse()).

kind regards,
