[New-bugs-announce] [issue7832] assertSameElements([0, 1, 1], [0, 0, 1]) does not fail

[Florent Xicluna]

New submission from Florent Xicluna <laxyf at yahoo.fr>:

The current behavior of "assertSameElements" is not correctly documented.

The unit test confirm that it is a tested behaviour.

However it seems more useful to provide a method which compares the actual count of each element in both sequences.
There's already some use cases in the stdlib test suite.

Proposed behavior:

Success: assertSameElements([1, None, None], [None, 1, None])
Failure: assertSameElements([1, None, None], [1, 1, 1, None])
