+1
The "consistency" argument leads to the PEP 8 names. The removal of redundant names is not made in the name of consistency, but of API simplicity.
Isn't this enourmous discussion a clear sign that a lot of people won't find a trimmed-down API simpler? If assert* to fail* mapping is consistent, then voilá, simple, everyone can remember method names (+1 for PEP-8 renaming), everyone is free to think of each test as they please.
