Re: Enhancing --show-function and --function-context in default configurations

gauge whether these changes would be accepted or not.  As far as I can
tell, these would not change the default behavior of plain git
{grep,log,diff} unless the --show-function or --function-context flags
are specified

Two other places may be diff hunk headers and --diff-words output, I think.

Should I work on a patch that does this?

That depends.  If you are going to introduce a mechanism to
introduce hardcoded configurations, depending on how it is done, it
will become a huge security headache.
