Wrong.

"diff ^C A B" is a bug, isn't it? And that is a bug in the current code.

I would be reluctant to accept a myopic hack that is only good for one
caller and that needs to be ripped out and re-done, especially when we
already know other issues that can be solved cleanly if you go a little
further in the initial round.

While I understand this reluctance, remember that this "one caller" is
required to fix a bug in the current code.
