+    Utility class that exposes a getitem-aware object. It does not provide
+    index() or default() methods, and it does not expose the individual item
+    objects - just the list or dict that contains them. User-specific index()
+    and default() methods can be implemented by inheriting from this class.
+    
+    Use case:
+    
+    from cherrypy.lib.cptools import ExposeItems
