Subject: test/unit and pp

Hi,

given the following program:

--------------------------------------------------
#!/opt/ruby/1.8/bin/ruby -w


require 'test/unit'

class FooTester < Test::Unit::TestCase
  def setup
    @foo=Array.new
    @foo << [:a,:b,[:c]]
  end
  def test_foo
    assert_instance_of Hash,@foo
  end
end

--------------------------------------------------

I'd like to have the 

"  1) Failure:
test_foo(FooTester) [-:16]:
<[[:a, :b, [:c]]]> expected to be an instance of
<Hash> but was
<Array>."

written a bit shorter, perhaps like this:

"  1) Failure:
test_foo(FooTester) [-:16]:
instance of <Hash> expected but was <Array>."

because sometimes I have very large objects to compare. I was not
successful by setting use_pp=false, somehow there is no difference
between those two (with and w/o use_pp=false).
