Rename form

Hiya,

I recently managed to get quite a lot of work done on my form(lib) based
replacement for a folder_contents view. Thanks go to Yuppie for doing all
the hard work initially - so that putting it into a form hasn't been that
difficult. Thanks also to Jens for help with subversion. I have a couple
of questions:

1) this is designed as a replacement for folder.py - I have gone with the
BDFL's naming convention. Do we have any CMF-specific ones?
2) when it comes to renaming items in a folder, another form will be
required. I'm planning to implement this as a separate view even though it
only makes sense if called with a list of objects to be renamed from
folder_contents, or should it be available from any IContentish objects

FWIW: I find it quite natural wanting to rename "this specific thing
that I'm just looking at" so my vote would be for any IContentish
object. In the UI sense at least ...

I've been thinking along the same lines and it wouldn't be difficult to
add another action for renaming individual content objects. Renaming via
folders is presumably a continuation of the way things are done in the ZMI
which is, of course, how we generally do things in file systems. Nothing
wrong with keeping it around even if I think the more content-centric
(egid, what a neologism!) approach would be to work with the object itself.

To get this finished I would just stick with the current folder-based
behavior. Renaming an object from the object itself can always be
added on later.
