No, please don't. It's not necessary most of the time, just adding
noise to the screen.

I suggest:

3) Don't.
4) Qualify the type that caused the error, but only if its _name_ and
the name of the expected type are the same.

But 4) is too "patchy". So that leaves 3): 

*** type           : Foo
*** does not match : Foo

which doesn't seem so strange now that I've seen it once.
