Certainly.

The other use of decorators is the fails_with decorator.  That one could
be altered so that on standard TestRunners it returns, but on our
TestRunner, it raises ExpectedFailure.  If you use a plain-old function,
you have to return it:

def test_thing_that_fails(self):
    try:
       thing_that_fails()
    except MyFailure e:
       return self.expectedFailure(e)
    else:
       self.unexpectedSuccess()
