When you read his examples the "eq" seems very hacky and bends the literate approach out of shape a bit.

Why not add an extra method named something resembling "islike" as a synonym for the horrible eq, then you can say:

assertThat(a, islike("3"));

or

assertThat( theEndResult, islike( theDesiredExample ));

More literate, hmm?
