Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
If an error is encountered in collection a message is printed to the console of various verbosity. Some of these errors may be transient or only occur during one collection run but not another so it would be helpful to have them reported in the collection object so the compare could surface them.

Research direction

Start by tracing where collection errors are printed and how collection objects are passed into compare. Define how errors should be retained in the collection object and verify that compare surfaces errors from one collection run without requiring console output.
