 * Checks if an item 'b' extends an item 'a' deeply. That means

 * 2. 'b' may have additional properties anywhere
 * 3. arrays may be in a different order
 * 4. a property with the name '*' in 'a' is treated as a template
 *    for another property in 'b', meaning a property in 'b' must match
 *    the property '*' in 'a' according to the matching rules
 * 4. Properties in both 'a' and 'b' must be equal or follow the above rules
