Supposing, we have a form action like:

        @form.action('Apply')
        def handle_edit(self, action, data):
        	self.context.name += "Blah"
        
This change is visible in subsequent requests. i.e if we view this
object via another form, we can see the modification. However, if we
restart the server (bluebream), this change is lost. The same thing
happens when we use "form.applyData". If we 'notify'
ObjectModifiedEvent, this does not happen.

Since the object's modification is visible across requests, I am
assuming that the transaction mechanism 'did' apply the changes to the
object.

But, it did not get to the disk :-/
