I currently get extremely long lines when a `dataClass1 shouldBe dataClass2` test fails. Is there any way it could be pretty printed so that I needn't spend minutes manually formatting it every time to see the diff? I think I saw Gradle pretty print a `List` or something I had once.
Sorry if this is unrelated to Kotest. I'm unsure whether this is issue is from Kotest, Gradle, JUnit, etc.

I believe this is related to <https://github.com/kotest/kotest/issues/826>

It was included in 4.1.0.RC2, could you take a look?

I tried it out.

It works if the same data class is being compared (e.g., `MyClass shouldBe MyClass`).

It doesn't work for collections of data classes (e.g., `listOf(MyClass1, MyClass2) shouldBe listOf(MyClass1, MyClass2)` .

It doesn't work for different data classes (e.g., `MyClass1` shouldBe `MyClass2`). Obviously, comparing different data classes would always fail the test. However, I believe this is still an issue because Kotest still allows it to compile, and the reader of the test report doesn't know it's a different data class until it's been somewhat formatted.

We can inprove the error if the classes are not equal
