Examples

Compare two objects using named args:

_diff.deep:
  lhs:
    deleted: To be deleted
    edited: Edit me
    array: [1]
  rhs:
    new: New value
    edited: Edited
    array: [1, 2]

_diff.deep:
- deleted: To be deleted
  edited: Edit me
  array: [1]
- new: New value
  edited: Edited
  array: [1, 2]

Both return:

  lhs: Edit me
  rhs: Edited
- kind: A
  path: ['array']
