Fixes #6631

Default behavior remains unchanged. By setting the opt-in DIFF_CONTEXT_LENGTH env var (name subject to bikeshedding), you can enable output like this:

asciicast

Maybe this needs marked UNSTABLE (unstable version of internal/build-message with unstable versions of assert/equals and assert/strict-equals that are identical apart from doc + dependency change edit: probably better to just parameterize stable version and export a customized version from unstable)

This looks pretty nice.

On a somewhat related topic I thought I made an issue suggesting directing the output to a file a while ago, but I can't seem to find it. The point being to allow one to parse the difference in an easier manner than in the terminal.

I thought I made an issue suggesting directing the output to a file

@BlackAsLight Is that necessary as part of the API though? Why not just pipe redirect stderr to a file?

$ NO_COLOR=1 deno eval "import { assertEquals } from 'jsr:@std/assert'; assertEquals(1, 2)" 2> errors.txt
$ cat errors.txt
error: Uncaught (in promise) AssertionError: Values are not equal.


    [Diff] Actual / Expected


-   1
+   2

  throw new AssertionError(message);
        ^
    at assertEquals (https://jsr.io/@std/assert/1.0.14/equals.ts:64:9)
    at file:///root/source/repos/$deno$eval.mts:1:49

I didn't think of that, but that also seems pretty verbose and having it send its contents to a specific file only when it errors seems pretty convenient to me.
