We have run diamond types' fuzzing test, comparing otto and diamond types side-by-side.

Otto agents converge to a common state. Diamond types agents converge to a common state.

In some cases, however, this common state isn't the same for otto and diamond types.

Even on unordered document contents – i.e. excluding cases where the changes appear in reverse order.

It would be interesting to see if we can tweak otto's behaviour to match diamond types' exactly.

Test case:
