Proposal: Assert.AreSequenceEqual<T>(IEnumerable<T> actual, IEnumerable<T> expected)

[marcelwgn]

Summary

Introduce an Assert.AreSequenceEqual<T>(IEnumerable<T> actual, IEnumerable<T> expected) to allow assert on just generic IENumerables

Background and Motivation

Currently, neither Assert nor CollectionAssert have a good way to assert the equality of two IEnumerables<T>. One can use the CollectionAssert.AreEqual or CollectionAssert.AreEquivalent by calling ToList but that is not much fun (and its relying on CollectionAssert) so this is not ideal.

Proposed Feature

Add an AreSequenceEqual<T>(IEnumerable<T> actual, IEnumerable<T> expected) function on Assert to fill that API gap

Alternative Designs

One can use CollectionAssert by calling ToList or manually casting to ICollection but that certainly isn't great and also building on CollectionAssert :/

Forgot to mention, I would be more than happy to work on this

@marcelwgn thank you for the offer, I need to double check because I have prepared some updates that are waiting on #7444 and I wonder if I haven't already done that.
