One way to do this is to override the _q_traverse and have
it call your _q_lookup the way you want, instead of just
passing the first component on the rest of the path.

Maybe, in _q_traverse(), you would want

   obj = self._q_lookup(component, *path)

instead of

   obj = self._q_lookup(component)

This won't work because the component never has any '/' characters.
