I see what you mean. Notice, however, that we also test whether
the regular expressions can be compiled successfully, and for this
it is desirable to have the complete list of userdiff drivers.
Until we have at least one test-case for each driver, we wouldn't
get the complete list.
I missed the fact that we lack "here is a pair of test files in this
lang $p; go find diff between them and make sure we have the right
hunk header" for many $p.
So the kind of improvements I wondered about are allowed to come
later, but shouldn't be done in this series, especiallly not at this
step in the series.
Thanks.
