[M3devel] diff -c vs. diff -u

For the record, I don't like diff -c.

In particular the use of "!" to show a changed line, without showing what was there before.

diff -u and plain diff seem better.

(Sometimes plain diff is superior, like if there is an unordered list of things, context

doesn't matter.)
