Judging from what you've said earlier, the most elegant way to solve your
specific problem would be to have both Egg and Spam inherit from Persistent,
and let them both manage their own _p_changed flags.  Then there is no need
to pass parent references around, or other namespace tricks -- ZODB will
take care of it for you.

Is there some reason you can't do this?
