Re: API for setting/getting values on Dexterity content

I agree with this; once you understand how behaviors work is not that 
ugly... you can also use:

 >>> hasattr(obj, 'title')
True

 >>> obj.title = u'Foo'

which is completely explicit and Pythonic.

in this specific case I think we don't need those methods in the API, 
but I think this doesn't work the same when you use annotations instead 
of attributes:

http://docs.plone.org/external/plone.app.dexterity/docs/behaviors/schema-only-behaviors.html

I think adding documentation on how to set/get values on fields provided 
by behaviors would be better.

best regards
