Details:
I'm not sure if this is worth the complexity, but when I got the error
"orderfields: structs must have same fields up to order", I thought that it
may be useful to indicate which fields were different.
The patch is less trivial than I expected, and probably not worth the
maintenance burden, but since I have written it, I'll post it here once I have
the bug number. Currently, if only one field is in one struct but not the
other, it prints the name of that field; otherwise it prints the number of
such fields. There are many more verbose possibilities (like listing all
shared/LHS-only/RHS-only fields if that number is below a threshold), and I'm
happy to implement something different if people think it is worth it, but I'm
afraid of the tail wagging the dog.
