Example

The IRegistrationConfirmation extension point this patch provides makes it easy to add things such as ​CAPTCHAs and e-mail confirmation to AccountManagerPlugin's user registration form.

The interface provided by IRegistrationConfirmation includes two methods.

class IRegistrationConfirmation(Interface):
    """An interface for receiving notification before and after the new user                                                                                                                                     
    registration form has been submitted.                                                                                                                                                                        
    """

    def pre_registration(self, req):
        """Returns the markup to be added to the registration form                                                                                                                                               
        """

    def verify_registration(self, req):
        """Returns an error message if confirmation fails, or None on success                                                                                                                                    
        """

This is a very generalized interface but it has not been thoroughly assessed to ensure that it meets all use-case requirements. Suggestions are welcome.

For example, SimpleCaptchaPlugin uses this interface.
