/**
 * Assists in implementing {@link Diffable#diff(Object)} methods.
 *
 * 
 * All non-static, non-transient fields (including inherited fields)
 * of the objects to diff are discovered using reflection and compared
 * for differences.
 * 
 *
 * 
 * To use this class, write code as follows:
 * 
 *
 *  * public class Person implements Diffable<Person> {
 *   String name;
 *   int age;
 *   boolean smoker;
 *   ...
 *
 *   public DiffResult diff(Person obj) {
 *     // No need for null check, as NullPointerException correct if obj is null
 *     return new ReflectionDiffBuilder(this, obj, ToStringStyle.SHORT_PREFIX_STYLE)
 *       .build();
 *   }
 * }
 * 
 *
 * 
 * The {@link ToStringStyle} passed to the constructor is embedded in the
 * returned {@link DiffResult} and influences the style of the
 * {@code DiffResult.toString()} method. This style choice can be overridden by
 * calling {@link DiffResult#toString(ToStringStyle)}.
 * 
 * 
 * See {@link DiffBuilder} for a non-reflection based version of this class.
 * 
 * @param 
 *            type of the left and right object to diff.
 * @see Diffable
 * @see Diff
 * @see DiffResult
 * @see ToStringStyle
 * @see DiffBuilder
