Well, really, the reason I'm deferring is to get the patch accepted, because it seems kind of unacceptable for standard library modules not to have full test coverage. So far, I don't see evidence that the issue has even been triaged. Of the three approaches, regex, cd, or decoration, which do you see as most likely to be accepted? I understand that cd might be common in some tests. But it also appears that, at least in test_filecmp, some pretty heinous practices are also common like piling a ridiculous number of asserts into one test method. (And I'll fix that, too.) I do really appreciate your advice, core developer or not. You are the only one providing advice here.
