Doesn't matter to me, either.  However, it would be nice if all macros
defined in CppUnit share the same prefix.  As far as I can see, the
only other macros in CppUnit are prefixed by CU_ (CU_TEST_SUITE and
friends).

Ah.  Sorry; I have been advocating a new macro "assertEqual", 

#define CU_assertEqual(expected,actual)\
  (CppUnit::TestAssert::assertEquals ((expected),\
    (actual),__LINE__,__FILE__))

and this is what I was referring to, not the member function of TestAssert.
(Also, I'm suggesting that TestAssert::assertEquals() be a templated function).
