Just an idea from the 'could-be-done-if-needed-department'. Generally
there is quite often the need to have non-undoable properties in
different objects of a site. There is one way to store it in the
temporary storage, which is ram based, and not shared between ZEO
instances. But if a second non-undoable storage is mounted it could be
stored there and could be shared between ZEOC.

To make this more transparent, one could perhaps implement something
like a special propertysheetobject, which stores its properties in this
mounted storage. 

Is there anything obviously wrong with this idea?
