You are right.
And if you want to assertEqual(a, b) to capture a and b,
you need to replace assertEqual to forward the values to
your own failureException.
I guess we will go this way: replace failureException and
assertEqual(), assertIn(), ....
No change in Python's unittest lib is needed.
Thank you for your reply.
