feature: expect.toMatchObject

[vinicius73]

Sometimes we just want check if a object is partially equal to another object.
In jest we have expect.toMatchObject

This is very useful when you must check a object with the certain dynamics values.
An example of that is when you call a API to create a resource, commonly, we do not know what is the values of id and fields like created_at and updated_at.

There already is a way to do it with uvu?
If not, there is any plan?

No, the expect.toMatchObject is a partial match. uvu already includes assert.equal which is a deep, equality check for exactness. Here's the difference:

let full = {
  name: 'lukeed',
  human: true,
}

assert.equal({ human: true }, full); // => throws error
assert.match({ human: true }, full); //=> OK, partial match

If this were to land, it'd be part of the assert.match helper, as shown, since that is uvu's "partial / wilcard matcher" helper.
