I think the bulk of the effort should be put into unittest(2).  Nose
came up to begin with because unittest(1) didn't do what people needed.
I think the best scenario would be to have a unittest that obviates the
need for a new nose.  Second best would be to have the new nose be as
thin a layer above unittest as possible.
