// MismatchMessage is a helper to return an English-language description of
// the differences between got and want, phrased as a reason why got does
// not conform to want.
//
// This function does not itself attempt conversion, and so it should generally
// be used only after a conversion has failed, to report the conversion failure
// to an English-speaking user. The result will be confusing got is actually
// conforming to or convertable to want.
//
// The shorthand helper function Convert uses this function internally to
// produce its error messages, so callers of that function do not need to
// also use MismatchMessage.
//
// This function is similar to Type.TestConformance, but it is tailored to
// describing conversion failures and so the messages it generates relate
// specifically to the conversion rules implemented in this package.
