It's basically how the existing testsetups are defined - see
z3c.testsetup.doctesting. Now that I look at it - I could just as well
have defined layer in getTestSuite(), assuming the base class doesn't
somehow depend on it (don't think so)

>>
>> class MyTestCollector(TestCollector):
>>   """ also collects integration tests """
>>   handled_getters = TestCollector.handled_getters + [IntegrationDocTester]
>>
>> test_suite = MyTestCollector('your.package')

I agree - I just had to try :)
