hi, is there a way to do deep comparison of two objects(of non data classes) in commonTest (something equivalent of `assertReflectionEquals` in java), i found `shouldBeEqualToComparingFields` in kotest assertions module but that is also jvm only.

I don't think reflection allows doing this in non-JVM platforms

If your objects can be `@Serializable` there may be other options

yeah i had thought of `@serializable` but objects are unfortunately not `@serializable` , even if outer object is somehow serializable, inner nested objects also will have to be for that to work properly.

Yes reflection doesn't work well on non jvm but i was hoping if there is some multiplatform solution similar to it.

Use case: While writing tests we tend to equate full objects rather than just changed fields, to eradicate any side effects which could be caused by change of expected fields.

you could write an annotation processor which generates some `mostlyEquals` extension function or whatever you want to call it, but there's nothing built in
