Comment:
It was added in #14503. Documentation says, "Similar to unittest’s
assertRaisesRegex() with the difference that expected_message isn’t a
regular expression." I guess with `assertRaisesRegex` you will have to
call `re.escape(expected_message)` to ensure the message isn't treated as
a regular expression. Should that point be noted? Another advantage from
my perspective is that `assertRaisesMessage` won't need to change when
dropping Python 2, unlike `six.assertRaisesRegex` (`six` -> `self` and
removing `self` argument).
