While it might be overkill on its own, it seems like it'd be a good
utility to have for these kinds of tests.
Unfortunately we can't easily make this type independent. The local
variables are needed to avoid multiple evaluation. While we could infer
their type using compiler specific magic (__typeof__() or C++), we'd
still need to print them. We could however remove the local variables,
and purely rely on stringification of the arguments for printing the
error.

I'd name it EXPECT_EQ_U32 or such, but otherwise I think this is a clear
improvement.
