Request: Format assertion failures for easier visual parsing

When a unit test fails, the IC2 Log view helpfully pulls out the assertion and re-displays it at the end of the log in an alternate color.

It would be very helpful if it would add a newline before “Expected:” and a newline before “, Actual:” to make it easier to visually parse the difference between the values.

As an example, here’s what I currently see:

System.AssertException: Assertion Failed: Expected: A long string with several, items, in, a, list., Actual: A long string with several, items, in, o, list.
(System Code)
Class.DSoql_Test.assertionExample: line 1101, column 1

And what I’d like to see:

System.AssertException: Assertion Failed: 
Expected: A long string with several, items, in, a, list.
, Actual: A long string with several, items, in, o, list.
(System Code)
Class.DSoql_Test.assertionExample: line 1101, column 1

Lining up the two values makes it very easy to spot any differences.

NOTE I don’t know why the code view is making one line italic. That’s not intentional formatting on my part.
