Agreed. It was an example. I couldn't think of a small, realistic, example.
Sorry.

How about a GUI test example, like in the docs. setUp creates a widget,
tearDown destroys it. In between, tests do hundreds of things like
setSize(10,10), assert getSize() == (10, 10). You get the idea. OK, so
creating a widget *might* not be too expensive - but it might be (you'll force
me to suggest a widget which maintains a database connection, if you're not
careful :-)
