Yep,

The idea was to define on the property sheet the list of possible values for a 
property with a "selection" type, and maybe also to reuse 
getDocumentIngestionEmailNotificationSelectionList in the GUI.

The "standard" way is to define a 'string' property and a python script, 
usually something like 
Preference_getPreferredDocumentFileNameRegularExpressionItemList, then the 
property is defined in two places, in the property sheet and in python script 
(if we consider that possible values are part of the property definition), 
this was what I tried to avoid.

Afterall, I was probably wrong, at least, the implementation I proposed was 
clearly too low level, and I don't think that we want to extend ERP5Type to 
support this more cleanly.
