[issue2578] Figure out what to do with unittest's redundant APIs

[Antoine Pitrou]

Antoine Pitrou <pitrou at free.fr> added the comment:

With all due respect, I find the presence of numerous type specific
functions (assertListEqual, etc.) awful. I don't understand why the type
isn't simply cased in the standard assertEqual function. I also don't
think adding so many assert methods makes the API easy to remember and
pleasant to use.
