Regarding:

  - Michael Foord: the 'suite' callable mentioned in unittest
    documentation isn't actually used or enforced, so it does not
    clash, collide, or make redundant the 'test_suite' collable
    convention defined in setuptools.


My *understanding* (and apparently confirmed by Philipp Eby's response) 
is that test_suite in setuptools specifies a suite and not a callable.
