Uh, just for the record, I loathe working from examples instead of from 
actual documentation. *My* impression is that people don't like to write 
actual documentation! ;) and thus point people at code instead.

I was less interested in the immediate coverage plugin and more 
interested in helping everybody write future plugins that could work 
with both systems. I have a Pandokia plugin for nose that I'd be glad to 
make work with py.test, if I had some decent instructions. But I'm not 
interested in reverse-engineering some other random plugin in order to 
figure out what to do to mine.
