Package: diffoscope

The OCaml compiler generates a bunch of binary files (cmi, cmi, cmt, cmti, cmx, cmxa). Currently diffoscope seems to only prints  binary diffs:

It would be nice to show more structured information instead; a subset of this information could already be dumped with `ocamlobjinfo` command which might be enough in most cases.
