This is unlike their `assertEquals()` counterparts which are public.\r\n\r\n`assertEquals(\"foo\", true)` resolves to `assertEquals(boolean,boolean)` and will therefore give a warning about inconvertible types in my IDE (which is good).\r\n`assertNotEquals(\"foo\", true)` resolves to `assertNotEquals(Object, Object)` and will not give a warning in my IDE (which I think is bad).\r\n\r\nI do not know whether this is intentional (there are no JavaDoc for the `assertNotEquals()` methods, not even the public ones). I expected `assertNotEquals()` to be just like `assertEquals()` except for the desired comparison-result."}}
