[issue11664] Add patch method to unittest.TestCase

[Julian Berman]

Julian Berman added the comment:

With all due respect, your response pretty much ignored mine completely. That's OK, I've agreed with you that patch seems more common.

I'll point you additionally though to the fact that Éric's original post also used patch.object's semantics, as does test.test_support.swap_attr and patch.

I don't know how hard I can push here though, since again, this would be really confusing to have it have the same name.
