FYI - As a side note to this issue of removing the clutter of alternate
names - I intend to gather up the worthy non-clutter additional unittest
assertFoo APIs that we have at Google to contribute towards 3.1/2.7, my
goal is to do this before PyCon this year.

This thread from last spring summarizes the types of things I'd like
include already.

As an side-side-note, I find much more important to add some kind of
test discovery since it is being duplicated in several packages in Lib/
and will continue being duplicated.

Guido van Rossum <guido@python.org> added the comment:

@gpsmith: Way to go!

@gpolo: Alas, test discovery is now a much harder problem because it
depends on using conventions for test naming. Unless all existing
implementations use the same conventions, it's hard to see how to
replace them. Please bring that up on python-ideas@python.org.
