This has usability issues. In particular, it is impossible to stage only
the change "old1"->"new1" or unstage the change "old2"->"new2" of this hunk:

	@@ -1,4 +1,4 @@
	 ctxt1
	-old1
	-old2
	+new1
	+new2
	 ctxt2

Being able to do that was one of the goals, and I missed it :-( Since
that's my personal itch, I'll come up with a patch rather sooner than later.
