Expose createErrDiff for diffing objects #51740
Description
What is the problem this feature will solve?
I like the general format of the deepStrictEqual diff comparisons, but it would be nice to get this functionality "natively" to print a diff instead of forcing it to error to see a diff.
What is the feature you are proposing to solve the problem?
Expose createErrDiff from assert
What alternatives have you considered?
Userland diff tool, but if the code is already there it would be nice to expose it

The current implementation is not ideal. I would not expose that for now. It is just a best effort implementation and not e.g., Myers .

Just a little update here: #54862 will switch the alg to Myers
