Better support comparing lists / iterable objects about assertj

[sta-szek]

Oww this is wrong project :))
I think i can do this by contributing https://github.com/joel-costigliola/assertj-core 👍

Hi sta-szek,

I think the underlying code already allows this, but getting access to the code is ugly:

assertThat((Object) Arrays.asList("a", "c")).isEqualToComparingFieldByFieldRecursively(Arrays.asList("a", "c"));
assertThat((Object) Arrays.asList("a", "c")).isEqualToComparingFieldByField(Arrays.asList("a", "c"));

Hi,
that's right, the invocation is really ugly, but what if you have ArrayList and for example Iterable or some other type of List. It compares also Lists internal state instead of only objects on the list.
When I got some time, and nobody do this, i try to implement that.

Yes, it does not work with different types of lists.

By the way, it would be nice if you could create an issue at https://github.com/joel-costigliola/assertj-core/issues

Thanks,
Pascal
