"""Assert functions with a parameter order of actual_value, expected_value.

This module contains many stand-ins for functions in Nose.tools. It is also
a clone of TestNG's Assert class with the static methods changed to functions,
and the term "equals" changed to simply "equal" to be more Pythonic.

There are also a few original assertions methods and the class Check.

This module should be preferred when Nose is not always available.
