I forgot to mention in the rest of my review: thank you for working on
this, and for making a nice clean series. It was very pleasant to read.

I think the output overall is nicer. I am concerned with the performance
implications. I see this as a stopgap until we have a true diff inside
the hunks, but if we can overcome the performance implications, I think
it's worth applying in the meantime.
