The unittest.TestCase.assertEqual() now displays the differences in lists,
tuples, dicts and sets on failure.
Many new handy type and comparison specific assert* methods have been added
that fail with error messages actually useful for debugging. Contributed in

Discussion lives in http://bugs.python.org/issue2578.
