I'm assuming you're commenting on my general style.  Moved to another
thread.  CCed you.

Interesting.  I played with this and it's not quite what I'm looking
for, but it's nice to have that in my toolkit.  Thanks.

I hadn't read it.  Most source is pretty intimidating at my current
skill level.

I did just now take a look around and I think I found what I'm looking
for.

~/.rvm/rubies/ruby-1.9.2-p180/lib/ruby/1.9.1/minitest/unit.rb

The assert_equal method, and possibly even mu_pp are the two places
I think I could use.

I did some initial playing and the results are already vastly more
readable to me.  I'm a bit surprised I was able to do this.  Thanks for
the motivation.
