Typo repair checked in from a wrong project.

Move get_pickle_metadata() into utils.py.

Try to make more sense of the ZODB pickle format "docs".

places.

Add get() as preferred synonym for __getitem__.  Change several uses
    of subscripting to get().
Change add() to register new object with transaction.
Change several methods to raise RuntimeError if they are called when
    the Connection is closed.
Add experimental epydoc markup to doc strings.
Extend doc strings and write new tests for "User Methods."

Broken objects are objects who's class has gone away, typically
because modules or classes have been removed or moved.

Blast!  Why didn't doctest complain about this?

- inline getClassMetadata() into serialize()
- get __getnewargs__() from the object instance, not the class, since
  the PersistentClassMetaClass does things strangely

Add support for persistent weak references.  The implementation is in
pure Python right now; coptimizations.c was disabled.  We need to
restore the C code before going to beta.

The persistent reference format has evolved a little, but the code on
the branch doesn't document it.  The ref is usually a an oid-class
pair, where the class is an actual class object.  It can also be a
list, for weak references, or a bare oid.

Add support for data managers written against the ZODB4 transaction
API.  The transaction implementation provides an adapter between the
two interfaces.  There's a substantial doctest test suite for this
feature.

Add add() method to Connection to explicitly add an object and get it
an assigned _p_oid.  It's possible to add an unconnected object; this
isn't recommended, because it will be lost at pack time.
