What version of Racket are you using?
8.7 [cs]

What program did you run?

#lang racket

(require rackunit)

(check-match
 1
 a
 (symbol? a))

(check-match
 `(1)
 `(,a)
 (symbol? a))

(check-match
  'a
  a
 (integer? a))

What should have happened?
The user should be able to debug the test failure from the error message.

If you got an error message, please include it here.

--------------------
; FAILURE
;   Source locations:
;   /tmp/meow.rkt:5:0

actual:     'a
expected:   'a
--------------------

Please include any other relevant details
The error messages we get out of check-match can often be extremely misleading. Consider the above examples, where tests fail apparently claiming that 'a is not equal to 'a (when the read problem is that 'a is not an integer), and that 'a was expected but 1 was produced (when the real problem is that 1 is not a symbol).

I might take a stab at fixing this later if others can't do it faster than me.
