So nix the PEP-8'ifying until after 3.0. So new methods should follow the current naming scheme (assertIn, assertNotIn etc). [snip...]

+1 on your changes Michael - I really like the decorator idea. Let me know if you want help on adding the new stuff or updating the documentation. What about aiming this at 2.6 instead of 3.0? -jesse

As they will just be new features rather than API changes I would like to add these to 2.6 - although I think May 10th may be after the last alpha?
