This type was originally motivated by observing that a class of
properties will involve a pseudo-identity followed by a check for
equivalence between its input and output. A generalization of would be
properties which are defined by the equivalence check, only. See #280.
For this class, we usually want to know how those two values differ,
rather than only that they do. Test-authors may thus write tests like
the following in order to include those values in a failure report:
This change introduces a convenience type which encapsulates the
equivalence check as well as the error message generation. Using it, the
above test could be written as:
