No it's not. There has to be some (hopefully small) understanding  
between the formatter and whatever mechanism we have for running  
parallel tests - because when you run parallel tests the results  
might arrive in a fairly jumbled up order.

Currently any formatter object must be split into a per-run object  
and a per-test object - and there may be multiple instances of the  
per-test bit if you're running parallel tests.

Obviously this needs interface needs to crystalise soon - but I don't  
think it has yet.
