[Possible Bug] Comparison of luxon DateTime objects

[t-knapp]

Hello world,

I'd like to thank all contributors for that awesome library.

Unfortunately I think I encountered a bug, not sure: In an application, I work a lot with luxons DateTime objects (see: https://moment.github.io/luxon/#/) to represent dates. When it comes to comparison of two objects with a prop of DateTime object, the output operation array seems to be wrong.

Here is a Codesandbox attached: https://codesandbox.io/s/gracious-morse-bg1bc?file=/src/index.js

Comparing an object with null value property {time: null} and an object with DateTime property {time: DateTime.now()} gives this operation array.

0: {op: "replace", path: "/time", value: "2021-08-06T16:00:48.462+02:00"}

Looks plausible to me.

Comparing two objects with DateTime objects in time property with around 10 ms difference gives this operation array.

0: {op: "remove", path: "/time/isLuxonDateTime"}
1: {op: "remove", path: "/time/o"}
2: {op: "remove", path: "/time/c"}
3: {op: "remove", path: "/time/weekData"}
4: {op: "remove", path: "/time/invalid"}
5: {op: "remove", path: "/time/loc"}
6: {op: "remove", path: "/time/_zone"}
7: {op: "remove", path: "/time/ts"}
8: {op: "add", path: "/time/0", value: "2"}
9: {op: "add", path: "/time/1", value: "0"}
10: {op: "add", path: "/time/2", value: "2"}
11: {op: "add", path: "/time/3", value: "1"}
12: {op: "add", path: "/time/4", value: "-"}
13: {op: "add", path: "/time/5", value: "0"}
14: {op: "add", path: "/time/6", value: "8"}
15: {op: "add", path: "/time/7", value: "-"}
16: {op: "add", path: "/time/8", value: "0"}
17: {op: "add", path: "/time/9", value: "6"}
18: {op: "add", path: "/time/10", value: "T"}
19: {op: "add", path: "/time/11", value: "1"}
20: {op: "add", path: "/time/12", value: "6"}
21: {op: "add", path: "/time/13", value: ":"}
22: {op: "add", path: "/time/14", value: "0"}
23: {op: "add", path: "/time/15", value: "4"}
24: {op: "add", path: "/time/16", value: ":"}
25: {op: "add", path: "/time/17", value: "5"}
26: {op: "add", path: "/time/18", value: "6"}
27: {op: "add", path: "/time/19", value: "."}
28: {op: "add", path: "/time/20", value: "4"}
29: {op: "add", path: "/time/21", value: "6"}
30: {op: "add", path: "/time/22", value: "0"}
31: {op: "add", path: "/time/23", value: "+"}
32: {op: "add", path: "/time/24", value: "0"}
33: {op: "add", path: "/time/25", value: "2"}
34: {op: "add", path: "/time/26", value: ":"}
35: {op: "add", path: "/time/27", value: "0"}
36: {op: "add", path: "/time/28", value: "0"}

One would expect the only change to be the miliseconds numbers or just a "replace" operation for the string representation but not a whole add array items stuff.

Do you have an idea why this happens and how to fix it? Is it a bug or do I have the wrong expectations on the behaviour?

Kind regards,
Tobias

Same issue as the newly posted #318. See there for a potential solution and workaround by me, since we had the same issue in our project.
