Note that nose is no longer supported and needs (minor) patching to work
with recent Python. Most distributions have maintained patched versions,
but nose users should move to nose2
<https://docs.nose2.io/en/latest/index.html>. The nose decorators are like
the NumPy matrix module and financial functions, but I'm not convinced they
are worth keeping around when folks can move to nose2. Deprecation would be
a good first step and then we can see who complains.
