Expected and actual output do not stand enough in the output

[christophe-riolo]

Hello, I am new to Alcotest and I have been perplexed when confronted with this output:

ASSERT Returns error
[failure] Error Returns error: expecting
Connect Error: connection error., got
Connect Error: connection error.

It took me way longer than I would like to admit to realise that the last dot was part of the punctuation of the sentence and I was wondering why Connect Error: connection error. was different from Connect Error: connection error..
I think it would be clearer to separate more clearly the outputs, for instance:

ASSERT Returns error
[failure] Error Returns error
Expected:
Connect Error: connection error.
Actual:
Connect Error: connection error

Thanks for the suggestion!

We actually have an open PR that makes an almost identical change (#246) and a WIP one that takes this a step further by highlighting the component of the output that is different (#247). I hope those will solve your issue.
