class DiffLevel:
    """
    An object of this class represents a single object-tree-level in a reported change.
    A double-linked list of these object describes a single change on all of its levels.
    Looking at the tree of all changes, a list of those objects represents a single path through the tree
    (which is just fancy for "a change").
    This is the result object class for object reference style reports.

    Example:

    >>> t1 = {2: 2, 4: 44}
    >>> t2 = {2: "b", 5: 55}
    >>> ddiff = DeepDiff(t1, t2, view='tree')
    >>> ddiff
    {'dictionary_item_added': {<DiffLevel id:4560126096, t1:None, t2:55>},
     'dictionary_item_removed': {<DiffLevel id:4560126416, t1:44, t2:None>},
     'type_changes': {<DiffLevel id:4560126608, t1:2, t2:b>}}

    Graph:

    <DiffLevel id:123, original t1,t2>          <DiffLevel id:200, original t1,t2>

    Note that the 2 top level DiffLevel objects are 2 different objects even though
    they are essentially talking about the same diff operation.

    where t1's child object equals down.t1.
