Generic diff utility for sequences of custom objects

[riyadparvez]

Python has a nice library called difflib [1], which has class SequenceMatcher that can diff not only string but also two difference sequences. Is there any plan to add something similar to SequenceMatcher to diffplex? The core algorithms in diffplex should work, just all the core classes have to be made generic and string specific code has to be refactored. This would be really good feature to add.

Would you be interested in contributing this? I would love to get more developers involved :)

I'm using diffplex for one of the projects I'm working on. If my current approach turns out to be working, then I'm probably going to invest some time in diffplex itself.
