__provides__

Special descriptor for class __provides__

The descriptor caches the implementedBy info, so that we can get declarations for objects without instance-specific interfaces a bit quicker.

For example:

>>> from zope.interface import Interface
>>> class IFooFactory(Interface):
...     pass
>>> class IFoo(Interface):
...     pass
>>> class C(object):
...     implements(IFoo)
...     classProvides(IFooFactory)
>>> [i.getName() for i in C.__provides__]
['IFooFactory']

>>> [i.getName() for i in C().__provides__]
['IFoo']

Ordered as shown above and formatted for use in select boxes.

If request is given, we’ll try to translate all country names in order to sort alphabetically correctly.

XXX: This is a function (and not a constant) as different languages might give different orders. This is not tested yet.

XXX: If we really want to use alphabetic ordering here, we might think about caching results of translations.
