----------------------------------------
Summary: Enable use of compareTo to test for BigDecimal equality
in ReflectionDiffBuilder
Key: LANG-1758
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LANG-1758
Project: Commons Lang
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Krzysztof Sierszeń
ATM all fields seem to be compared using equals in
`org.apache.commons.lang3.builder.ReflectionDiffBuilder`.
However, comparing BigDecimals using compareTo (i.e. ignoring precision) is
such a common use case, that I feel this could be a configuration option for
`ReflectionDiffBuilder`.
I can also think of two more generic alternatives:
# a config option like `.usingComparatorForType(Class<T>, Comparator<? super
T>)`
# compare *all* `Comparable` types using `compareTo` rather than `equals`
(potentially also configurable via an option like
`.preferCompareToOverEquals(bool)`
