I'd love to see this fixed with a helper - Raises and MatchesException
want the same facility.

Title:
  Use Python 3 style qualified exception names in tracebacks

Status in testtools:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Originally as part of my unicode traceback work I had the module name included when printing exceptions, as Python 3 does. However it broke a few tests, and wasn't really a requirement to get non-ascii tracebacks working so I removed that logic. Putting it back in would be particularly useful for things called 'error', is that socket.error or pywintypes.error or...?
