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.

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