One option for rationalising the API would be to merely keep the
shortest version of each phrase (i.e. use assert* instead of
fail_unless* for the positive tests and fail_if* instead of
assert_not* for the negative tests, and always drop the trailing 's'
from 'equals').
I think clarity, consistency, and discoverability are more important
criteria than saving a few characters in a method name.
Adding in possible positive and negative forms of the proposed new
methods
A major point of this PEP is to *remove* redundant names in the API.
