I believe this is outside the scope of what intended.   For the most part, the 
test methods need to be as direct and non-magical as possible so that we're 
clear on what is being tested.   Another issue with built in recursion is that 
different people have different notions of what is atomic, different notions of 
search order (depth first, breadth first, pre-order, in-order, post-order, 
etc), and different notions on maximum depth etc.  The unittest module leaves 
those decisions to the tester and instead focuses on simple and direct 
properties of objects under test.
