Differences from reflect.DeepEqual: * If compared value implements .Equal(valueOfSameType) bool method then it will be called instead of comparing values as is. * If called Equal method will panics then whole DeepEqual will panics too. . This means you can use this DeepEqual method to correctly compare types like time.Time or decimal.Decimal, without taking in account unimportant differences (like time zone or exponent).
