/**
 * Utility class to render views of the differences between two data objects (or two versions of the
 * same data object).
 * 
 * Construcing a diff object is done as follows:
 * <code>
 * $fromRecord = Versioned::get_version('SiteTree', $pageID, $fromVersion);
 * $toRecord = Versioned::get_version('SiteTree, $pageID, $toVersion);
 * $diff = new DataDifferencer($fromRecord, $toRecord);
 * </code>
 * 
 * And then it can be used in a number of ways.  You can use the ChangedFields() method in a template:
 * <pre>
 * <dl class="diff">
 * <% control Diff.ChangedFields %>
 *    <dt>$Title</dt>
 *    <dd>$Diff</dd>
 * <% end_control %>
 * </dl>
 * </pre>
 * 
 * Or you can get the diff'ed content as another DataObject, that you can insert into a form.
 * <code>
 * $form->loadDataFrom($diff->diffedData());
 * </code>
 * 
 * If there are fields whose changes you aren't interested in, you can ignore them like so:
 * <code>
 * $diff->ignoreFields('AuthorID', 'Status');
 * </code>
