I don't see why.  Anyone who has set "diff=cpp" either likes suffering
(maybe they are hoping to improve the pattern) or is working with a
codebase for which the current pattern works better than the default
behavior (maybe their codebase has a lot of goto labels aligned at
column zero).  So removing the funcname pattern can only hurt them.
