Even worse, the ``zc`` namespace has multiple-personality disorder
("MPD"; ``zope.formlib`` exhibits this as well); there is no single
style use throughout.  I attribute this to fact that the style
question even came up after the Zope 3 style guide was written.

There are some people who thought there was an agreement that PEP 8
would be used in the ``zc`` package, but it wasn't communicated to
everyone at ZC, and was never consistently applied.  The resulting MPD
has only feed the confusion.  :-(
