  1. I'm mildly concerned about twisted.spread.pb.CopiedFailure, but as far as I can tell, it overrides the only Failure method which is losing support for a string type attribute (printTraceback), so I guess I shouldn't worry (at least not any more than I already did about the mere existence of a Failure subclass in twisted.spread).
  2. There's a new pyflakes warning about test_failure.py (util' imported but unused).

Otherwise looks good, please merge.

Failure will no longer even pretend to work with string exceptions.
