looks great.

the problem with adding it as an argument is that it is
added to literally everything.  hundreds of unit tests.

a more standard approach, one adopted by python unittest, is to inspect
the stack frame and obtain the name of the caller *of* the add_cases
function.

i believe this has already been done.

the next upper level of hierarchy is to separate test classes, by
determining the class name: self.__class__.__name__ does the trick.
use that in add_cases() to add an extra piece of info to the
test_data, it can then propagate through and eventually get put
as an argument to the dump function

quite laborious but hey
