If you can use another test runner, they often have more flexible and 
powerful ways to do everything.  nosetests will let you use a __test__ 
attribute, for example, to mark tests.  Your decorator could simply 
assign that attribute on the test methods.

You'd still write your tests using the unittest base classes, but run 
them with nose.
