I'm not sure if this is what you're after, but if it's just about the  
displayed values try:

	def assert(expect, actual)
	  print (expect == actual ? "." : "\nexpect #{expect.inspect}\nactual:  
#{actual.inspect}\n")
	end

which yields:

	irb(main):029:0> assert([1,[2,3]], [1,2,3])
	
	expect [1, [2, 3]]
	actual: [1, 2, 3]
	=> nil

Is that what you're after?
