// defaultReporter implements the reporter interface.
//
// As Equal serially calls the PushStep, Report, and PopStep methods, the
// defaultReporter constructs a tree-based representation of the compared value
// and the result of each comparison (see valueNode).
//
// When the String method is called, the FormatDiff method transforms the
// valueNode tree into a textNode tree, which is a tree-based representation
// of the textual output (see textNode).
//
// Lastly, the textNode.String method produces the final report as a string.
