unsolicited translation

[d-maurer]

Demonstrated by (under Python 3):

from chameleon.zpt.template import PageTemplate

def translate(*args, **kw): return "translated"

class ToConvertButNotToTranslate:
  def __init__(self, text): self.text = text
  def __str__(self): return self.text

x = ToConvertButNotToTranslate("x")

ts = """<div tal:content="x" />"""
t = PageTemplate(ts)
t(translate=translate, x=x)

This returns <div>translated</div>; it should return <div>x</div>.

I see that the behavior is explicitly documented: "everything is translated which is not a string or a number and does not have __html__".

Thus, it is likely a feature (even though perhaps a strange one).
