Normally, the "to be truthy" assertion does not take any value as it simply asserts that a subject can be coerced to a boolean true (in the case of "to be falsy" it is coercion to boolean false).
It seems that early on these assertions inherited an optional form where a custom message can be supplied as their argument - this was likely inspired by earlier assertions frameworks (assert on node still supports forms like this for example).
These two forms of the assertion are at odds with most other assertions where values are consistently used as part of the assertion. Thus, we wish to remove them.
