Bug Description
It would be nice if bzr selftest could automatically pop into the pdb debugger: before running each (selected test) and/or after test failure.
Or is there already some easy way to get this? (Easier than editing the test source to call pdb.)

I don't think we expose this in the UI, but the python test protocol has
'debug()', which is meant to be run from pdb or similar - it is meant to
run the same tests but with the expectation that a debug will catch
exceptions rather than forwarding them to a reporter object.
I think a better way to structure it would be to have a reporter than
uses pdb.post_mortem, myself.
