Description
**Describe the problem/challenge you have**
Users may run into a challenge determining why their overlay does not match expected number of nodes. (e.g. if `overlay.subset({"apiVersion": "cert-manager.io/v1"})` but the actual node has `cert-manager.io/v1alpha1`). it would be interesting to somehow let the user know potential nodes that were "almost" matched.
no clue how to implement this.

Research direction
The issue does not name any implementation files, tests, or entry points. Start by tracing ytt's overlay matching behavior and how it reports mismatched node counts; done would mean a documented or tested way for users to understand near-matches without changing the requested matching semantics.
