I don't believe this belongs in 2.4, since it can, actually, break code.
Code that depends on the current situation, _TestCase__attributename.
Fragile code, to be sure, but still. If there were a compelling reason to
backport, I guess it could be hacked to work right-ish, but subclassing
TestCase in this way, while convenient, isn't important enough to warrant
this (IMHO).
