#assert_equal(exp, act, msg = nil) ⇒ Object

Fails unless exp == act printing the difference between the two, if possible.

If there is no visible difference but the assertion fails, you should suspect that your #== is buggy, or your inspect output is missing crucial details.

For floats use assert_in_delta.

This returns a diff-able human-readable version of obj. This differs from the regular mu_pp because it expands escaped newlines and makes hex-values generic (like object_ids). This uses mu_pp to do the first pass and then cleans it up.
