Re: junit-nested: TestRunner for non-static inner classes

Cool,  I did take a look at specsy before I started Nested, but I didn't
want to use anonymous classes for each test, and I'm not quite ready to
commit to JDK 8 or scala/groovy yet.

As for test isolation, currently each each inner class instance gets its
own independent outer class instance, so everything should be completely
isolated.
