Oops. I thought this was a typo for MatchesException, but actually the
ExpectedException has not been fixed. Sorry.

Title:
  The value_re argument for ExpectedException only fits some situations

Status in testtools:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  It would be nice to assume a default of '.*' (e.g., any exception of
  that type), and to permit matchers rather than just regexes.

  For compatibility, a str/unicode argument could automatically create a
  regular expression matcher against the exception instance.
