A Differ[Value, Patch] knows how to compare an old value and new value of type Value to produce a patch of type Patch that describes the differences between those values. A Differ also knows how to apply a patch to an old value to produce a new value that represents the old value updated with the changes described by the patch.
A Differ can be used to construct a FiberRef supporting compositional updates using the FiberRef.makePatch constructor.
The Differ companion object contains constructors for Differ values for common data types such as Chunk, Map, and Set``. In addition,Differvalues can be transformed using thetransformoperator and combined using theorElseEitherandzipoperators. This allows creatingDiffer` values for arbitrarily complex data types compositionally.
