However, i am not completly sure yet about appropriate 
setup/teardown semantics.   Should setup_method()/teardown_method() 
be performed for each run of a generated callable+*args/**kwargs thingie 
or just for the test generator itself?  (test generator = the 
test function that actually yields callables/args/kwargs 
tuples). 

cheers,
