LoadMap

registry of loaded fixtures.

The LoadMap class is accessible via the testtools.fixtures.registry module.

loaded fixtures are registered by the class of their instance. If you subclass a fixture it would be considered a completely new fixture.

THOUGHTS: Do we need a way to explicitly say which class should be considered our key? I don't think so but if that's the case we could look for a custom __fixture_id__ attribute or something
