raises(Error, "message with (parens)") no longer fails with an exact match
def raise_error():
raise AssertionError("Message with (parens)")
assert_that(calling(raise_error), raises(AssertionError, "Message with (parens)")
will fail with Correct assertion type raised, but the expected pattern ("Message with (parens)") not found. Exception message was: "Message with (parens)" which is a somewhat confusing message.
This is because the parens in the pattern are treated as a regex group and need to be escaped.
This pull request removes this source of potential confusion. The above code will now not error as a regex mismatch will only happen if the pattern does not match as a regex AND it is not a literal match for the error.
