[issue14408] Support ./python -m unittest in the stdlib tests

[Michael Foord]

Michael Foord <michael at voidspace.org.uk> added the comment:

Because you then have classes that inherit from object calling methods that clearly don't exist (until you subclass them *and* TestCase). It looks weird and also means the classes can't be tested in isolation.

With a class decorator the code would *look* straightforward, and the hidden attribute is just an implementation detail.
