Hi John,

Using macros and calling fixture functions from tests was how I used
to do this, too.  I think that's still the best way to do per-test
fixtures.  With the per-namespace fixtures, I'm speficically trying to
avoid putting fixture code in every test.  I also wanted to do setup
and cleanup once per namespace without redefining test-ns-hook.  But
this is an experiment; it won't be for everyone.  We'll see how it
works in practice.
