Thanks for taking time to do this! It looks like a few things are
still missing, CRLF obviously, and making it a configuration option.

I assume you're doing |= so that we don't overwrite the empty line
setting each loop here to 0 when it's false? That's a bit subtle, and
it took me a moment to figure out, since I am used to thinking of it
as bitwise | and not a boolean or like we're intending here (though
obviously we're using bitwise to perform that intended behavior).

And this was the more difficult part which I wasn't able to fully
understand how to do. It seems pretty reasonable. I think we can make
it configurable by using a new XDIFF flag similar to how we handle
various diff options like the different diff algorithms, and then we
could add tests specific to ensure that the flag enables the behavior
we want on some known test cases.
I am not really sure how to thoroughly test it beyond that though.
