Loader: Test Functions

Load tests from test functions in modules.

This plugin responds to loadTestsFromModule() by adding test cases for all test functions in the module to event.extraTests. It uses session.testMethodPrefix to find test functions.

Functions that are generators, have param lists, or take arguments are not collected.

This plugin also implements loadTestsFromName() to enable loading tests from dotted function names passed on the command line.
