Recently i noticed a new need.

The collecting/asserting various kinds of data during a testrun.

I noticed the following (partially hpyothetical) cases in various
projects

* pip records file changes to the virtualenv it makes for testing
* pypy records jit compile results/dumps
* jinja2 should record asts and the compile results of templates it
tests
* the logcapture extension
* the build-in io captureing 

i think i would be helpful/practical to have a common way to record
those things and navigate them in extended test reporters

adding propper timing information to lines/data could help even more
(for having a common timeline of different event sources)

since this topic is rather hard to manage i hope for some dicussion on
the needs others see, as well as if/how this could add more to the
testing

regards Ronny
