FakeModule causes unittests with embedded ipython to fail

Description

Note: this is a port of issue 2 from the old roundup tracker.

Original information follows.

Currently, unittesting with embedded ipython breaks becausea FakeModule instance overwrites __main__. Maybe python should revert back to using __main__ directly as the user namespace? Handling a separate namespace is proving very tricky in all corner cases.
