[issue12681] unittest expectedFailure could take a message argument like skip does

[Michael Foord]

Michael Foord <michael at voidspace.org.uk> added the comment:

Well, expectedFailure could dispatch on the type of the argument, with different behaviour for strings and anything else (presumed to be a function / method). That would be inconsistent with the api for skipping though. (I'm not wild on the message argument to the skip decorators - I keep forgetting it.)
