    I'm attaching a patch that adds expect methods to TestCase. They are
    like fail methods, but they don't fail immediately. They are useful when
    you want to catch more than one error at a time.
    I included some tests.
    There are docstrings but more documentation might be needed. I'll gladly
    write it if/when the code is good to go.
    The original code was written by Donovan Baarda for an internal project
    at Google, I only extracted the bits that made sense to publish and
    changed the style to me more Python-alike.

    Interesting, but it should be discussed on the mailing-list first.
    Also, since this is a new feature, it must be retargeted to 2.7/3.1.

    Can't see this going anywhere, might as well close unless someone is really interested.

    The API on TestCase is already too wide without adding more methods. This is easy enough to do in a TestCase subclass for those who want it.
