[Zope-CMF] WorkflowMethod

In article <15903.11263.344652.310285@gargle.gargle.HOWL> you write:

Yeah, that pretty much defeats the point of having workflow methods...

I'm inclined to patch it, as I too need such functionnality.

It would probably mean either:

 - removing all workflowAction wrappings from CMFDefault, because the
   standard workflows don't have the correct transitions,

 - adding the necessary transitions (edit, setFormat, editMetadata)
   to the default workflows,

 - adding a global boolean flag to the workflow tool that says "enforce
   workflow methods".

Opinions?
