If (al < 0) then al != cl, so I would think we could drop the first
part, and only check with al != cl || memcmp

In theory we should use xdiff_compare_lines here
as the rest of the lines could have more white space issues,
but we catch that earlier via a die("color-moved-ws:
allow-indentation-change cannot be combined with other
white space modes"), so memcmp is fine.

Side note: There are comments above this code that seem
to be also obsolete after patch 1 ("...carried forward in
pmb->wsd; ...)
