I REALLY like this :-)
The number of hours I've wasted looking at test results that go something like:

...EEEEEEE

...and which I then can't get any info out of because the tests have hung do to 
"something silly" happening in setUp, which means the connection never gets 
returned in tearDown ;-)

That sounds ideal. Maybe use the python warnign stuff?

So, in tests, I'd see the warning whines if I really am leaking stuff, but they 
won't paralyze test runs where setUp is broken, meaning it quicker to fix that 
breakage...
