+- 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.
