CLN: Converting assert_'s to specialized forms, in pandas/*/tests
Work on #6175, in pandas/*/tests. Tests still pass locally. Finishes most (all?) of the remaining vanilla assert_(x == y) conversions

just noticed this...can you rebase?
 I will give it a try.
 Just tried my first rebasing. How does it look, @jreback ?

git checkout assert_6175_6
git rebase master
[resolve one merge conflict]
git add pandas/io/tests/test_sql.py
git rebase --continue
git push origin assert_6175_6
[Error about "Updates were rejected because the tip of your current branch is behind its remote counterpart." Consult Google, and find suggestion...] 
git push -f origin assert_6175_6
 Your rebase is okay assuming your local master is synced with upstream master. Personally, I like to keep a remote called upstream and rebase on top of that right after fetching from it
 looks gr8 @bwignall 

if anything more would appreciate the update, otherwise ping and we can close the issue out
