Is there any reason why someone would not want to use an asymmetric version in a symmetric way?
You mean they pre-sort the arguments the way they want?
Sure, you could do that. Though if it were me, I'd probably just re-write the test myself.

But then it begs the question: are there cases where an asymmetric test matters? Simplicity has its virtues. Regards Antoine.
