This looks like a good idea. I was a bit disappointed that Python's
Valgrind integration didn't work for you in that bug, because it's
_supposed_ to detect when running under Valgrind and defer to its
malloc instead of its own, but I guess its own debug malloc is
different.
Anyway, yeah, the only downside is speed and that's not
a problem for tests, especially given they're small.
