Public bug reported:

MANUAL claims:

testtools.TestResult provides empty startTestRun and stopTestRun methods, and
the default testtools runner will call these methods appropriately.

Yet testtools.startTestRun is not empty.

If it's correct that startTestRun is not empty then it would be nice if
its docstring could mention that this was different from the behaviour
of Python2.7's TestResult.startTestRun.
