Yet in Junio's introductory message, the example was

        *       crlf !nodiff

and it made me think: huh? And then again: huh?

I don't mind if you call me dumb now, but even an intelligent person
will have to think a second or two about the meaning. That's plainly not
necessary. In particular, where there can be no difference between
"diff" and "!nodiff".
