Show expected and actual value for string equality

When I compare two strings, the debugging output is not very helpful at the moment:

    it("strings are equal", () => {
      expect("a").toStrictEqual("b");
    });

prints

    ❌ strings are equal - 
      [Expected]: Reference Value
      [Actual]  : Reference Value

Would it be possible to create an output that helps understanding the problem (i.e. show expected and actual string)?

Ah, I did not think of .toBe. I try to stick with some kind of equality matcher when I don’t explicitely want to test object identity.

@webmaster128 I wanted to mention that strings are immutable in nature, but using .toStrictEqual is a valid way to compare them, even if the functions that compare strings get used the same way.
