[Zope] TransientObjectContainer.keys()

[Edward Muller]

Isn't TransientObjectContainer a container for TransientObjects ?

You get the auto-delete from TransientObjectContainer. I assume (without
looking at the code) that the dict in TransientObjectContainer stores
some sort of references to TransientObjects ... which you then use ...

I could be very wrong ... since I'm not taking the time to read the
code.
