If you want, but Benjamin plans to undocument this for users along with all other test.support stuff (which I agree with). Most of the APIs in test.support were just quickly written and have not necessarily been thought through in order to make sure that the APIs makes sense (like in this case).

Ok, then we're back to there being no supported way to write tests that need to intercept warnings. Twisted has already suffered from this (JP reports that Twisted's assertWarns is broken in 2.6), and I doubt it's alone.

So I guess I am filing a bug after all... :)
