Bug description:
It would be really nice to be able to specify a test runner (e.g. RunTest) on a per-test basis using decorator syntax.  That way tests with special running needs would not have to be split into separate classes.  Ideally, this would not require the use of a special loader.

e.g.

{{{
  class TestFoo(TestCase):
    def test_normal(self):
      pass
    @use_runner(DeferredRunTest)
    def test_deferred(self):
      return defer.succeed(None)
}}}

Spelling can vary.
