> Need better reporting of deep equality failures. 
> During completeness testing, if two object graphs are compared and the result is that they are different, there needs to be more information about exactly what is different between the object graphs.
> The methods in each class deepCompareFields need to be changed to call into the EqualityHelper to do the comparisons and the EqualityHelper can report inequalities if the fields don't compare. During the comparison process, all fields need to be compared, and the results of compare need to be recorded by EqualityHelper. After the comparison of the graph, the collected information can be dumped if the results are "not equal".
> New methods in EqualityHelper that take a String tell which fields of which class are being compared. Each of the equals(o1, o2) and closeEnough(o1, o2) methods need to be expanded to include a third parameter which tells which field is being compared. If the result is unequal, then the field information is saved in a StringBuffer to be returned if the result of the entire comparison is "not equal".
