Assert quality, not content

If you are interested in a meta quality of the result, but not in the actual content itself, express that with a suitable assert:

assert_all_lines_shorter_than( actual_lines        = table
                               expected_max_length = 80 ).

Asserting the precise content obscures what you actually want to test. It is also fragile because refactoring may produce a different but perfectly acceptable result although it breaks all your too-precise unit tests.

assert_equals( act = table
               exp = VALUE string_table( ( `ABC` ) ( `DEF` ) ( `GHI` ) ) ).
