// Path is a list of PathSteps describing the sequence of operations to get
// from some root type to the current position in the value tree.
// The first Path element is always an operation-less PathStep that exists
// simply to identify the initial type.
//
// When traversing structs with embedded structs, the embedded struct will
// always be accessed as a field before traversing the fields of the
// embedded struct themselves. That is, an exported field from the
// embedded struct will never be accessed directly from the parent struct.
type Path []PathStep

// PathStep is a union-type for specific operations to traverse
// a value's tree structure. Users of this package never need to implement
// these types as values of this type will be returned by this package.

// StructField, SliceIndex, MapIndex, Indirect, TypeAssertion, and Transform.

	//     is unexported and the struct type is not explicitly permitted by
	//     an Exporter to traverse unexported fields.
	//   - For SliceIndex, one may be invalid if an element is missing from
	//     either the x or y slice.
	//   - For MapIndex, one may be invalid if an entry is missing from
	//     either the x or y map.

// pointerPath represents a dual-stack of pointers encountered when

// detection of cycles and determining whether the cycles are equal.
// In Go, cycles can occur via pointers, slices, and maps.
//
// The pointerPath uses a map to represent a stack; where descension into a
// pointer pushes the address onto the stack, and ascension from a pointer
// pops the address from the stack. Thus, when traversing into a pointer from
// reflect.Ptr, reflect.Slice element, or reflect.Map, we can detect cycles
// by checking whether the pointer has already been visited. The cycle detection
// uses a separate stack for the x and y values.
//
// If a cycle is detected we need to determine whether the two pointers
// should be considered equal. The definition of equality chosen by Equal
// requires two graphs to have the same structure. To determine this, both the
// x and y values must have a cycle where the previous pointers were also
// encountered together as a pair.
//
// Semantically, this is equivalent to augmenting Indirect, SliceIndex, and
// MapIndex with pointer information for the x and y values.
// Suppose px and py are two pointers to compare, we then search the
// Path for whether px was ever encountered in the Path history of x, and
// similarly so with py. If either side has a cycle, the comparison is only
// equal if both px and py have a cycle resulting from the same PathStep.
//
// Using a map as a stack is more performant as we can perform cycle detection
// in O(1) instead of O(N) where N is len(Path).
