Subject: testunit message override?

If this assert fails:

        assert_equal(Date.new(2006,4,15), calc.disbursal_date)

it prints something like:

test_PayFifteenthAfterQuarter(ProjectTest) [./projecttest.rb:13]:
<#<Date: 4907679/2,0,2299161>> expected but was
<#<Date: 4907681/2,0,2299161>>.

With the dates in a rather odd format, as you see above. Yet Date's to_s method
is perfectly reasonable.

I looked in the TestUnit docs for AssertionMessage, called by build_message, but
if it's in there I couldn't find it.

If I ever knew how to override TestUnit's printing, I've forgotten how. Please
remind me what's going on or point me to it. 

Thanks,
