I modified nevow a little bit to spit out debug information and it seems
that it is the generic flatten code that puts the MethodBinding instance
in the context as IData, not the formless code. I'll post some more
information after the nice-afternoon-debugging-session.

Btw, would make sense to have ctx.remember actually check that the given
adapter really support the interfaces it is rememberd for?

You workaround is fine right now but, unfortunately, remove one level of
abstraction from what I am trying to do. Using slots means you have to
*explicitly* put in one of the render methods the slot filling code
while using data and (for example) a dict renderer makes possible to
write only one method and put the rendering in the template (I better
like to put simple rendering in the template.)

Thank you very much!
