This is just one use case reason why me preferred assert idiom has the form
     assert ( expression, expectation)
if expectation is a string --and the outcome isn't one-- then the outcome is 
to!string'ed. just what you need. Very useful too, in several other cases of 
outcomes (I mean only when throws, just regular results that are not easily 
expressible in code).
