Since Python 3.8 such tests produce these warnings.  In my opinion these
warnings are legit, even though with the current implementation the code
works correctly as-is, because the empty string and the zero integer
happen to be interned automatically.  Please consider applying a small
patch as recommended by the warnings to get rid of them and to increase
code correctness.

There's a patch available in a pull request upstream:

https://github.com/CxxTest/cxxtest/pull/149/commits/2142549375e34b392f16e938fabf2c31951932bf

Regards,
Scott
