#' @title Compare Package Versions
#' @description
#' The \code{pkg_diff} function is used to compare two different versions of
#' a package.  The function returns an object that contains the differences.
#' Differences include any functions added or removed, and any function parameters
#' added or removed. The object may
#' be printed directly, or stored in a variable and examined programmatically.
#' @details
#' The difference operation only compares functions that are exported
#' from the package. It does not compare internal functions or function documentation.
#' Exported functions are identified in the package namespace.
#'
#' The \code{pkg_diff} function can compare any two versions of a package.
#' They do not need to be consecutive. They must, however, exist in the CRAN
#' archive.
#'
#' If the package versions are included in the \strong{pkgdiff} cache, the
#' function will pull them from there.  Otherwise, they will be pulled from the
#' CRAN mirror.  The function does not access any packages on the local system.
#' @param pkg The package name.
#' @param v1 The earlier package version. Pass the version value as a quoted string.
#' Default is "current", which means the function will look up the currently
#' installed version.
#' @param v2 The later package version. Pass the version value as a quoted string.
#' The default is "latest", which is the
#' latest version of the package available on CRAN.
#' @returns An object of class "pdiff", which contains information regarding
#' the differences between two versions of a package.  The object includes
#' a list of functions that were added, a list of function parameters that were added,
#' a list of functions removed, and a list of function parameters that
#' were removed.  The object also contains some general information like
#' the package versions examined, and a TRUE or FALSE flag indicating whether
#' there were any breaking changes.
