Add a component to compare arbitrary items between databases. Just choose two entries from the connection manager (i.e. dev and production database), allow to select arbitrary elements (itemtypes, list, forms...) or even a package (which then would compare its contents) and come up with an output like in BeyondCompare, where you can see identical or different elements, show the differences etc.
The ADiff tool lurking in the source code is the beginnings of such a tool. I went straight for a three-way diff figuring it would be easier to scale back to a two way than go the other way around.
