Produce a DTO that is the difference between two objects.

[roxburghm]

Use mapperly to produce a DTO that has the properties set where they differ between two objects.

So where you currently have

Car DtoToCar(CarDto carDto);

And

Void ApplyDto(CarDto carDto, Car targetCar);

I was thinking you could have

CarDto GetDifferencesBetween(Car A, Car B);

This would be incredibly useful to generate "sparse" objects to patch databases or call APIs with minimum differences.

This doesn't seem to be a use-case for an object-to-object mapper and is therefore out of scope for Mapperly.
