Description

(maybe not high priority)

I would like to be able to do a diff between two patterns at a level of abstraction above ASCII. This is for owl_patternizer evaluation. I don't think this needs to be semantic (no need to reason) but it should be structural. E.g. tries to match variables based on domain/range, then compare each text generator.

Research direction

Start by locating the existing command entry points and the code that parses or compares DOSDP patterns. Use owl_patternizer evaluation as the stated use case, and clarify how structural matching should pair variables and compare text generators. Done means a diff command can compare two patterns above the ASCII level without semantic reasoning.
