mydiff's major mode is a derived mode of diff-mode.  gutter is the
place where - and + are in diff -u format.

capturing orig line by line and placing each line as some type of
global marker or soemhing in a text property on each line in mydiff is
something that i have considered, but i'm not sure if i want to do
that or can or if it is the right thing to do in context.

registering aftr the fact could work better for the user, but i am
also not sure if that is the right thing to do.
