Description

Option to use whole JSON path in the fieldName in GraphComparator.

This would be greatly appreciated, because when having the same field names as leafs in different document branches, it's not obvious which one is shown.

Research direction

Start by locating GraphComparator and reading how fieldName values are generated for nested JSON-like structures. Trace the existing comparison output and determine how a full path could distinguish identical leaf names; done means the displayed fieldName identifies each branch without breaking current comparisons.
