I originally thought that a single capital C might work well for the
gocheck import identifier, as it won't alias any local variables or
any types that I know of, and it's reasonably distinctive and
suggestive. We could use JC for the juju checkers.

func (suite) TestSomething(c *C.C) {
   c.Assert(x, C.Equals, 0)
}

isn't too bad. I sympathise with ian's points about readability but I
think consistency and accessibility are also important, and I don't
think this will have a strong impact on readability.

I suggest we try something like this (it shouldn't be too hard to do
the change automatically) and see if the result seems ok.
