Is there a way highlight diff details for all diff sections in ediff?

Is there a way highlight diff details for all diff sections in ediff?

[Ian Kelling]

In ediff, I select a diff section and it highlights the details within that 
section that are different. Sometimes I want that for the whole buffer at once, 
across all the diff sections. I didn't see how I could do that in the manual. 
Excuse my ediff terminology is probably wrong because this has been in the back of 
my mind. Thanks.

I think I understand what you mean.  You want that the so called
"refinement" of the regions is always visible, even for unselected
regions, right?  No, that's currently not possible AFAIK, and I agree
that it would be really useful.  If nobody else has a solution, please
make a feature request.  Just M-x report-emacs-bug, and write what you
described in your question.

Michael.
