If it's about silencing warnings, then how about putting it in the warnings module? That sounds good to me, and would be very reasonable. This would make a nice context manager.

That works for me as well; just move catch_warning() to 'warnings' and leave test.test_support as-is. If we did that, though, I would want to make 'record' False by default so that it had more reasonable defaults for non-testing purposes.
