    <a name = "asserteq"></a>
    <strong>asserteq&nbsp;(x, y, eps)</strong>
    </dt>
    <dd>
    like assert, except takes two arguments that must be equal and can be tables. 
 If they are plain tables, it will use tablex.deepcompare.

    <h3>Parameters:</h3>
    <ul>
       <li><code><em>x</em></code>:  any value</li>
       <li><code><em>y</em></code>:  a value equal to x</li>
       <li><code><em>eps</em></code>:  an optional tolerance for numerical comparisons</li>
    </ul>




</dd>
    <dt>
    <a name = "assertmatch"></a>
    <strong>assertmatch&nbsp;(s1, s2)</strong>
    </dt>
    <dd>
    assert that the first string matches the second. 

    <h3>Parameters:</h3>
    <ul>
       <li><code><em>s1</em></code>:  a string</li>
       <li><code><em>s2</em></code>:  a string</li>
    </ul>




</dd>
    <dt>
    <a name = "asserteq2"></a>
    <strong>asserteq2&nbsp;(x1, x2, y1, y2)</strong>
    </dt>
    <dd>
    a version of asserteq that takes two pairs of values. 
 <code>x1==y1 and x2==y2</code> must be true. Useful for functions that naturally
 return two values.

    <h3>Parameters:</h3>
    <ul>
       <li><code><em>x1</em></code>:  any value</li>
       <li><code><em>x2</em></code>:  any value</li>
       <li><code><em>y1</em></code>:  any value</li>
       <li><code><em>y2</em></code>:  any value</li>
    </ul>




</dd>
    <dt>
    <a name = "tuple"></a>
    <strong>tuple&nbsp;()</strong>
    </dt>
    <dd>
    encode an arbitrary argument list as a tuple. 
 This can be used to compare to other argument lists, which is
 very useful for testing functions which return a number of values.


    <h3>Usage:</h3>
    <ul>
        <pre class="example">asserteq(tuple( ('ab'):find 'a'), tuple(1,1))</pre>
    </ul>



</dd>
    <dt>
    <a name = "timer"></a>
    <strong>timer&nbsp;(msg, n, fun, ...)</strong>
    </dt>
    <dd>
    Time a function.  Call the function a given number of times, and report the number of seconds taken,
 together with a message.  Any extra arguments will be passed to the function.

    <h3>Parameters:</h3>
    <ul>
       <li><code><em>msg</em></code>:  a descriptive message</li>
       <li><code><em>n</em></code>:  number of times to call the function</li>
       <li><code><em>fun</em></code>:  the function</li>
       <li><code><em>...</em></code>:  optional arguments to fun</li>
    </ul>
