Wouldn't it be better if this raised TestFailed rather than
AssertionError? Or is there code that catches the AssertionError?
[...grep...]
Yes, there's code that catches AssertionError:
(1) in Marc-Andre's own test_unicode.py;
(2) in test_re, which catches AssertionError and raises TestFailed
 instead.
Proposal:
(1) change verify() to raise TestFailed;
(2) change test_unicode.py to catch TestFailed instead.
