because it was wrongly removed at c7f1a35c
when replacing to specify the portal type with the rule reference.

Because they are testing newly added functions on new-simulation.

Don't even search for future trade phases.

Rules should now contain all predicates necessary for matching the right
simulation movements. Which they now can do since they all have "Predicate"
tabs now.

(partially revert 5c2c470f)

Use getTypeBasedMethod and unify handlers.

The 'test' function seems to disappear in a few contexts. This should be fixed in Chameleon, but we work around it here for now

Commit 2f881b06 was a wrong fix because RLock
does not raise 'thread.error' like Lock (when releasing an unacquired lock).

(cf commit b709cc899fa17ed14569a96395ad2def3a545db4 of NEO project)

datetime.datetime is required, not Zope-ish DateTime.
there is no conversion in dict anymore.

Behaviour inspired by alarms.

 unit test nature where a bt5 with a data content which is to be reindexed
is installed BEFORE the real cloudoo is setup in preferences.

In case of navigate the caller is responsible for providing date as text string.

suds library understands datetime.datetime objects, so do *NOT* convert them
to strings.

Add system preference which indicates if pre_converted_only argument should be used or not in conversion.
