good point and actually the original one for introducing the 
whatever_test.py pattern.

yes, most do, i guess.  Nothing strange about not doing 
it - at least i am doing it myself as well. 

I was doing the change also to see if there is anyone
complaining.  I didn't have a plan for when that happens :)

OK, so what now?  I guess reverting to the old behaviour 
and documenting it (the complaint yesterday was that 
the "whatever_test" was not documented).  Could you do
that, Brian? I am still at a pypy sprint (grabbing my
first coffee and such) etc

best,
