Add literal event comparison support

For those who are writing unit tests for the first time, they may
instinctively copy the event information from the error message.
However, if the error message contains special characters that are
not properly escaped, the unit test will fail.
This requires the user to examine the source code to understand they
reason For the failure.
With this optimization, it could be more beginner-friendly.
