`expect_equal` cannot replicate `expect_equivalent`'s behavior

[egonulates]

Since expect_equivalent function deprecated, I tried to use expect_equal(ignore_attr = TRUE) without any success:

library(testthat)

x <- 1
(y <- setNames(1, 'a'))
#> a 
#> 1

# Old function working perfectly
expect_equivalent(x, y)
# New function does not work
expect_equal(x, y, ignore_attr = TRUE)
#> Error: `x` not equal to `y`.
#> names for current but not for target

expect_equal() no longer ignores names because they're so important for describing details. I'd recommend using an explicit unname() instead.
