Title:
  DocTestMatches error when 'actual' is unicode

Status in testtools:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  When TestCase.assertThat is invoked with a unicode string and a
  DocTestMatches instance, the _with_nl() call made by the
  DocTestMatches.match() method fails if the argument 'actual' is a
  unicode string.

  class MyTestCase(TestCase)
    def myTest(self):
       foo = u"foo\u2026"
      self.assertThat(foo, DocTestMatches(foo)) 

  Trackback:
