Hi,

I am the original reporter of the bug. Please forgive me if this is not the 
place for discussing the issue. 

I've thought about it, and stuff like assertDictNotEqual or 
assertSequenceNotEqual aren't really necessary - it is much easier (and 
shorter) to use assertNotEqual, and there's no need for any special formatting 
needed to say that something is equal when it shouldn't.

This is not the case for assertNotRegexpMatches, though. 
assertNot(re.match(...)) tells me only that False is not True. I'd like it to 
say *how* the text matches the regex (the matching part that is). (Sorry for 
repeating myself, I try to be clearer this time.)

So, this issue could be renamed to "Implement assertNotRegexpMatches."
