Indeed, that's my impression as well.

I haven't looked into it, but I think one important issue is
performance: refined diffs can take a non-negligible amount of time
to get. The current code does it one section at a time, which makes it
quite bearable, but if you want to do it for all sections (not just the
current one), the total cost might become significant enough that we
should try to do it lazily/incrementally/asynchronously.
