When I diff from magit, it highlights spaces at EOL. see: http://puu.sh/1bY8l
The default diff refinining does not do that. In fact, we should be
able to do better than magit and highlight inline space changes as
well.

AFAIK Emacs-24's diff-mode does that as well, regardless of diff-refine-hunk.

Inline space changes can be highlighted after setting
`smerge-refine-ignore-whitespace' to nil
(maybe it should be defcustom instead of defvar?)

How would I use smerge in this context? I'm just pressing C-c C-b to
refine a diff hunk right now.

`C-c C-b' in diff uses `smerge-refine-ignore-whitespace' from smerge.
Perhaps diff should have a duplicate option `diff-refine-ignore-whitespace'
with the same functionality but a different name prefix.

Or rather, the refinement code should be taken out of smerge into its
own package.

I see. I didn't have a background set in my theme. Thanks for the pointer.
The setting should be a defcustom in diff group so it's easier to discover.

(I'm going through old bug reports that unfortunately weren't resolved
at the time.)
I've now done this in Emacs 29.
