// diffObjs: return differences between JavaScript values
//
// Function:
//
// Compare two JavaScript values, and return a two-element
// array that contains a minimal representation of the difference
// between the two.
//
// Values may be scalar (e.g., string, integer, boolean) or objects,
// including arrays. When the two values match exactly, that is,
// if the '===' operator between the two would return 'true', we return NULL.
//
// When the result contains an object or array, only data, not references,
// are copied from the arguments. This makes for a large size result
// but one whose manipulation will not affect the original arguments.
//
// Args:
// v1, v2: values to compare
//
// Specific behaviors:
//
// *Return NULL if v1 === v2*
//
// This happens when two scalar (non-object) values match, or when the same
// object or array is passed in both arguments.
// e.g.,
//
// var my_obj = { member1: 0, member1: 'dog' };
// var my_array = [ 1, 'cat' ];
// var my_int = 7;
// var no_val = null;
//
// diffObjs(my_int, my_int) ==> NULL
// diffObjs(1, 1) ==> NULL
// diffObjs(my_obj, my_obj) ==> NULL
// diffObjs({x:1,y:2}, {x:1,y:2}) ==> NULL
// diffObjs(my_array, my_array) ==> NULL
// diffObjs([1,'a'], [1,'1']) ==> NULL
// diffObjs(null, null) ==> NULL
// diffObjs(no_val, null) ==> NULL
//
// *Return copies of v1 and v2 on type mismatch*:
//
// When type of v1 and v2 are different or one is an array and the other
// is an object, the result array will contain exect copies of both
// v1 and v2.
//
// *Return minimal representation of differences among non-array objects*:
//
// Otherwise, when two objects are passed in, element 0
// in the result array contains the members and their values
// that exist in v1 but not v2, or members that exist in both
// v1 and v2 that have different values. Element 1 contains
// the same but with respect to v2, that is members and their
// values that exist in v2 but not v1, or members that exist in
// both v1 and v2 that have different values.
//
// Note: The members are represented in the result objects only when
// they are specific to the object of the corresponding value argument
// or when the members exist in both and have different values. The
// caller therefore can tell whether the object mismatch exists
// because of specificity of a member to one object vs. a mismatch
// in values where one is null and the other is not.
//
// Examples:
// diffObjs({a:10, b:"dog"}, {a:1, b:"dog"} ==> [ {a:10}, {a:1} ]
// diffObjs({a:10}, {a:10, b:"dog"} ==> [ {}, {b:"dog"} ]
// diffObjs({a:10, c:null}, {a:10, b:"dog"} ==> [ {c:null}, {b:"dog"} ]
// diffObjs({a:[1], b:"cat"},{a:1, b:"dog"} ==> [ {a:[1], b:"cat"}, {a:1, b:"dog"} ]
// diffObjs(
// {a:{ m1:"x", m2:"y"}, b:3 },
// {a:{ m1:"x", m2:"z", m3:1 }, b:3 }) ==> [ {a:{m2:"y"}}, {a:{m2:"z",m3:1}} ]
//
// *Return copies of compared arrays when differing by position or value*
//
// If the two arguments arrays, the results in elements 0 and 1
// will contain results in array form that do not match with respect
// to both value and order. If two positionally corresponding
// elements in the array arguments have identical value (e.g., two
// scalars with matching values or two references to the same object),
// the corresponding values in the array will be null. The
// cardinality of the arrays within the result array will therefore
// always match that of the corresponding arguments.
//
// Examples:
// diffObjs([1,2], [1,2]) ==> [ [null,null], [null,null] ]
// diffObjs([1,2], [2,1]) ==> [ [1,2], [2,1] ]
// diffObjs([1,2], [1,2,3]) ==> [ [1,2,null], [2,1,3] ]
// diffObjs([1,1,2,3], [1,2,3]) ==> [ [null,1,2,3], [null,2,3] ]
//
