I don't know if there is much we can do about that sort of thing.

There's a variety of diffing algorithms in existence (I imagine), but none will be exactly like a human in all instances.
Comment 2 Andre Klapper 2012-12-31 16:17:27 UTC
Fixing this might create other problems and more complex code than before. Proposing WONTFIX.
Comment 3 Max Semenik 2014-02-15 21:47:52 UTC
Closing as vague and having unclear benefit.
