Hi, First: Thanks for the fixes and release, my test suite runs fine with the new version!

I’d like an option/hint (in a sense similar to pytest.mark.trylast) to tell pytest to tear down fixtures as late as possible. Or a higher level scope than session, that is cached until the end of the entire test run. I’ve was not aware of this situation until I hit issue 503, and have always assumed that session fixtures cannot be teared down more than once. pytest-django’s internal fixtures and other fixtures I’ve written depends on having a single invocation for session fixtures. The teardown bugs in these fixtures can (and should) of course be fixed to work properly multiple times. Even if these fixtures were correct, from a performance point of view, tearing down some of these fixtures is a big issue, since session fixtures are typically very slow in the first place.
