Sure, why not.

I'm not sure if that'll work - wouldn't they still be called another time
at exit?

IMHO worth trying. The cleanup code should be safe enough to be reentrant,
but who knows. If it's not, it might be worth making it safe enough. Then
there's also the question *when* to call the cleanup function of a test
module. I doubt that it's a good idea to call it from inside the module
itself, but calling it from the test runner might work.

Please do.
