No, the idea was a wonderful idea!  =)

Are the errors because of something in Python, or because Twisted has
not been changed to handle the new semantics?  I know so far test
failures have come from people making overly strict assumptions about
the output (e.g., I think it was Thomas or Greg who was getting
failures because ``type(Exception)`` outputted a different string for
doctest stuff).  Is that the case here?
