It'd be nice to have a public API for getting at the method for a test case. Currently, there's the private _get_test_method() method.

Current use case is writing RunTest implementations that change their behaviour based on annotations applied to the test method. (e.g. a thing that intermittently retries known-flaky tests).

Work-around for that use case is to have a different RunTest implementation for each test.
