+- unittest now verifies more of its assumptions. In particular, TestCase
+  and TestSuite subclasses (not instances) are no longer accepted in
+  TestSuite.addTest(). This should cause no incompatibility since it
+  never made sense with ordinary subclasses -- the failure just occurred
+  later, with a more cumbersome exception.

   given a unicode argument and os.listdir() returns unicode filenames.
