Fine by private e-mail, though it would be nice if some of the discussions are
seen by the PyUnit list because it's a representative community of regular
users who probably have a good idea of what makes sense for them.

If somebody would like to suggest changes, I can look into how they might get
done. Also, I'd love to see what I can do to allay AMK's 'clunkiness'
complaints! :-)
