Ok, I've read through the code and, have experimented with 'diff --check'
fairly extensively, now understand it, have documented what I understand,
and am now building the doc to ensure it is properly formatted.

I presume that I send the patch text to the list with the subject line
that starts with [PATCH], some sensible topic (e.g., "document --check
option to diff"), and then a short body of explanation and then,
following my signature, the patch itself.

Assuming that is correct, I should have a patch out before the end of
the day.
