"""SENAITE LIMS Framework API

Please see tests/doctests/API.rst for documentation.

Architecural Notes:

Please add only functions that do a single thing for a single object.

Good: `def get_foo(brain_or_object)`
Bad:  `def get_foos(list_of_brain_objects)`

Why?

Because it makes things more complex. You can always use a pattern like this to
achieve the same::

    >>> foos = map(get_foo, list_of_brain_objects)

Please add for all functions a descriptive test in tests/doctests/API.rst.

Thanks.
