Well yes, at the moment you cannot preserve the full resolution because
the unittest module isn't very extensible.

See for instance what nosetests's ErrorClassPlugin does / recommends:
monkey patching the result object :- something totally incompatible if
the result object is e.g. a gui result, or a remoting result.
