/** Simple data model's contents comparison.
 *
 * The DataComparator is a simple object which takes two DataModel objects
 * and compare them. Actual comparison is performed when the 
 * compute_diff() is called; for each difference found, the diff-computed signal
 * is emitted (any user installed signal handler which returns FALSE stops 
 * the computing process).
 *
 * After the differences have been computed, they can each be accessed using 
 * gda_data_comparator_get_diff(), the number of differences found being 
 * returned by gda_data_comparator_get_n_diffs().
 * There are some limitations to this object:
 * <ul>
 *   <li>The data models compared must have the same number and type of columns</li>
 *   <li>The comparison is done column-for-column: one cannot omit columns in the comparison,
 * nor compare columns with different positions</li>
 * </ul>
