well, my thought was that containment-oriented verbs (get, put, etc.)
should accept any Thing as their target. I guess one could register an
adapter like that, it just didn't seem to be the right way to do
it. Are you recommending "registerAdapter(Thing, Thing, ITakeTarget)"? 
Of course, the _current_ way i'm doing it with "take" is obviously
wrong, now:

Thing.__implements__ += (ITakeTarget,)
