Thanks for landing this barry, there's a couple quirks with your improvements - loadTestsFromModule(mod, foo, bar) will raise a TypeError but not warn about foo the way loadTestsFromModule(mod, foo) will.

Secondly, the TypeError has an off-by-one error in its output:

loadTestsFromModule(mod, foo, bar) will claim 2 arguments were passed. Three were.
