Describe the bug

When I use expect(testObject).toMatchObject(expectedObject) I expect the diff to report the correct type for Received as it does for Expected.

For example, say I have the two classes Foo and Bar:

class Foo {
  constructor(public value: number) {}
}
class Bar {
  constructor(public value: number) {}
}

Then I expect the following test:

test("foo", () => {
  expect(new Bar(2)).toMatchObject(new Foo(1))
})

To report the types as it does in the AssertionError

 FAIL  src/test.ts > foo
AssertionError: expected Bar{ value: 2 } to match object Foo{ value: 1 }

- Expected
+ Received

- Foo {
-   "value": 1,
+ Object {
+   "value": 2,
  }

 ❯ src/test.ts:44:22
     42| }
     43| test("foo", () => {
     44|   expect(new Bar(2)).toMatchObject(new Foo(1))
       |                      ^
     45| })
     46| 

Yet it shows expecting a Foo and receiving an Object, while I would expect Object to be Bar here.

Now there have been cases (when this problem occurs in a nested object) where I had to add additional logging on failure to determine that Object is in fact Bar to pinpoint the cause of the error, which would have been unnecessary if the diff reported the correct type.
