[New-bugs-announce] [issue9976] Make TestCase._formatMessage public

[Matthew Woodcraft]

New submission from Matthew Woodcraft <matthew at woodcraft.me.uk>:

It would be pleasant if TestCase._formatMessage, or something similar,
could be made part of the documented API; I think pretty much anyone
writing a custom TypeEqualityFunc is going to end up reimplementing it.

(This is the code that makes the TestCase.longMessage attribute take
effect.)
