Re: fine differences for entire diff in diff mode

[Samuel Wales <samologist@gmail.com>]

thank you!  it will be a few years before i encounter it, when my os
upgrades.  :]  but in meantime i have kw's version.

i think it would be good as a command or funciton to turn it off when
the fine differences are too noisy and distracting.  but sometimes one
wants to turn fine differences back on.
