these function are unused by IPython, and are now in genutils.
I think we could still get a Major cycle before removing them.

 """Decorators for labeling test objects.
 
 Decorators that merely return a modified version of the original function
 object are straightforward.  Decorators that return a new function object need
 to use nose.tools.make_decorator(original_function)(decorator) in returning the
 decorator, in order to preserve metadata such as function name, setup and
 teardown functions and so on - see nose.tools for more information.
 
 This module provides a set of useful decorators meant to be ready to use in
 your own tests.  See the bottom of the file for the ready-made ones, and if you
 find yourself writing a new one that may be of generic use, add it here.
 
 Included decorators:
 
 
 Lightweight testing that remains unittest-compatible.
 
 - An @as_unittest decorator can be used to tag any normal parameter-less
   function as a unittest TestCase.  Then, both nose and normal unittest will
   recognize it as such.  This will make it easier to migrate away from Nose if
   we ever need/want to while maintaining very lightweight tests.
 
 NOTE: This file contains IPython-specific decorators. Using the machinery in
 IPython.external.decorators, we import either numpy.testing.decorators if numpy is
 available, OR use equivalent code in IPython.external._decorators, which
 we've copied verbatim from numpy.

     ----------
 
     skip_condition : bool or callable
       Flag to determine whether to skip test. If the condition is a
       callable, it is used at runtime to dynamically make the decision. This
       is useful for tests that may require costly imports, to delay the cost

     -------
     decorator : function
       Decorator, which, when applied to a function, causes SkipTest
       to be raised when the skip_condition was True, and the function
       to be called normally otherwise.
 
     Notes
     -----
     You will see from the code that we had to further decorate the

     transmit function name, and various other metadata.
