+      Duplicate elements are *not* ignored when comparing *first* and

       sequences. Equivalent to:
-      ``assertEqual(Counter(list(actual)), Counter(list(expected)))``
+      ``assertEqual(Counter(list(first)), Counter(list(second)))``
       but works with sequences of unhashable objects as well.
