[issue16288] TextTestResult uses TestCase.__str__() which isn't customisable (vs id() or shortDescription())

The special handling of special methods is baked into the attribute lookup machinery.  The discussion of this is in the language reference somewhere, as is the explanation of what descriptors are and how they work.
