Public bug reported:

gather_details gathers into a object with getDetails; however all it
really needs is two dicts. This would make it more usable in python-
fixtures where a fixture wants to be able to show a view on all its
child fixtures, gather_details wanting to write into a fixture or
equivalent means we need a temporary fixture like thing on each call
into getDetails.
