Does NZO require that this be on the 1.3 branch?  This is really a new
feature;  I can see sneaking it into 1.4 (it should be low risk), but I
have no plans at the moment to release a 1.3.2, and would really like to
keep the change set on that branch to essential bugfixes (so that making
a 1.3.2 release requires the least amount of testing).

I'd rather that it call a method to get the wrapper class:

  def _getDataWrapperClass( self ):
      return self._data_wrapper_class

That way, somebody could write a more clever tool (e.g., one which had
the "dotted name" of the class as a string property), without requiring
that they keep a special attribute in sync.
