      Right now, we can append std::string messages to unittest assertions via

      ASSERT(...) << "Message to print on failure"
      

      actual code example

      However, unlike our logging system, there isn't support for printing complex types like

      std::vector<class with toString() method or BSON()>
      

      Leveraging the formatting built into our logging system could enable developers to write unittests with more meaningful debug information upon failure.
