Okay. Is “unittest2 >=0.6” sufficient for that?

The features do seem to be there, but when I switch to the standard
library's ‘unittest.TestCase’ directly, there is a strange interaction
with ‘testtools.testcase.TestCase’ that causes the run to fail.

I would appreciate assistance on this, to get the test suite working
without the third-party ‘unittest2’ library.
