Re: [RFC/PATCH] attr: map builtin userdiff drivers to well-known extensions

Jeff King wrote:

We already provide sane hunk-header patterns for specific
languages. However, the user has to manually map common
extensions to use them. It's not that hard to do, but it's
an extra step that the user might not even know is an
option. Let's be nice and do it automatically.

I tried to think of negative side effects.

The userdiff drivers we have are pretty conservative; they just specify
hunk headers.

And word-diff regexes.

In my book this is a plus for your patch, but I'm just saying.  It
will trigger the slightly slower mode of word-diffing that splits at
far more places than the default.
