@Terry: This is part of the ongoing effort of issues #16748 and #10967 (and 
possibly others).  My ultimate goal along those lines is to eradicate 
support.run_unittest, and this is a step in that direction.

I think there's enough support here to skip python-dev :).

My testing has been limited (by time, mostly) to just a non-verbose run to 
confirm that nothing errors after the patch.  It seems Serhiy has tested more 
extensively, though.

@Raymond: May I ask why you removed 3.4 from versions?  Most of the changes 
like this in individual modules have been made on all open 3.x branches (most 
that I've been involved in were in the 3.3 maintenance period).  I don't feel 
strongly enough about making sure this is in 3.4 to argue if you have a good 
reason, though.

@Serhiy: Thanks for testing this!  The reference counting in individual modules 
has been dying a slow death, long ago replaced by regrtest's -R option.  For 
the modules with base classes included in testing, I'm inclined to either leave 
them as patched (since they don't actually add any tests and their overhead is 
minimal) or remove them from the patch and deal with them in a new issue; I'm 
leaning toward the first option.  For the wait tests, I would rather remove 
them from the patch and deal with them separately.

@Terry, Raymond, Michael, David, and Serhiy: thanks for the support!
