I feel this is easy to scan because the two values is vertically aligned.

In addition, what do you think about pretty_print?

  Expected <#<struct FooBarBaz
   foo=1,
   bar=2,
   baz=3>> not but <#<struct FooBarBaz
   foo=1,
   bar=2,
   baz=4>>

I think this is much more ugly.

I don't disagree this, but I think it might reduce the simplicity of
miniunit.
