Sure, though if we're just introspecting I don't see much risk
difference between resource_XXX and all XXX. As I say above I'm happy to
do it if folk think it will be nice.

yes. Given 

class Foo(TestCase):
    resources = {'thing', MyResourceManager()}
    def test_foo(self):
        self.thing

self.thing will access the resource returned by MyResourceManager.make()
