A useful future enhancement would be to adjust patches that insert
adjacent areas so that they can pass each other in a pop/pop
operation. The most common case of this being appends to end of file.

This would be a form of automatic conflict resolution. The pending
patch would be automatically corrected to resolve the adjacent insert
conflict.  You might want a prompt asking if this was ok andt then
remember the answer so that question is not asked repeatedly.

It's a mechanism to say that multiple insertions at point X in the
original file don't matter in their order of insertion.
