BUGS
----

split_test_name is detected as a test: rename it


Refactor
--------
 - Make conf passed not global
 - Use logging for messaging
 
 X split out test selection into selector class
   X use in core
 X move config to own module
 X move capture to result module
   X implement in result
   - remove from core
   X use text test result in core
 X use plugins in core
   X coverage
 
Output capture handling
-----------------------
 - Monkeypatch in a new _TextTestResult instead of all of the current chicanery

 
Assert introspection
--------------------
 - use in assertion error only -- only replace that class (replace the
   reference(s) in unittest as well)
 - introspect object instances? what about methods (probably not)
 - fix the 'EOF in multi-line input' bug


Error handling
--------------
 - exit on error or fail
 X pdb on error or fail

 
Path handling
-------------
 X importer:
     (all configurable!)
     * before attempting import, ensure that the path to the module to
       be imported is in sys.path;
     * if the module is a file other than __init__.py in a dir containing an
       __init__.py, walk up to find the root dir (with no __init__.py) and
       ensure that directory is in sys.path
     * after import, walk up package to package root and ensure that the
       package root is in sys.path
     * investigate Kumar's load/reload bug

     
Plugins
-------
 - test selector: decide if a dir, module, file, class, or function is a
   wanted test 
   X doctest
 - test collector: given a context (module, directory, or file) return tests
   X doctest
 - test watcher: before_all, before_test, after_test, after_all ..
   X coverage
   - profile

   
Utilities
--------
@raises(*exc) -- assert func call raises exception
@timed(under, over, exact) -- assert func execs in under, over, exact time

SkipTest exception ... catch in addError, addSkip instead, print skipped in
output after failed
Deprecated too?
