Log Message:
Added a couple of utility methods ('__getitem__' and 'find()') to namespace
classes in the UML metamodel.  This makes it easier to play with a UML
model loaded from XMI.  For example 'aModel["SomePackage.SomeClass"]'
would return 'SomeClass' from 'SomePackage' (assuming that the former is
directly inside the latter, and the latter is directly inside 'aModel').
The 'find()' method applies its '*args' as a series of criteria to be
invoked against a query on the namespace's contents.  So something like
'aModel.find(TYPE(UMLClass.Package),'name')' would be an iterator over the
names of the packages directly contained in 'aModel'.

These should be useful in developing code generation tools to write Python
or other output from UML and other types of models.
