exactly :)

The other possibily is to forget about actual and expected and let the
message be soemthing like

    'Assertion failed: (' , actual asString , ') ~= (' , expected asString ,
')'

or

    'Assertion failed: (' , expected asString , ') ~= (' , actual asString ,
')'


But still...I prefer the previous one changing the order :)
