Let's take a concrete example.  Imagine that I have a checker that looks
for data managers registered with the current transaction.  Is
zope.testing.transactionsupport a good place for it?  Or would it be
better to stick it into transaction.testsupport?

I envision that the top-level test.py of a project (e.g. Zope3) will
specify the default set of checkers, e.g.
  --checkers transaction.testsupport --checkers zope.testing.loggingsupport

I do not think the default set of checkers belongs in zope.testing, as
these may be highly application-specific.
