I'd really just prefer to make the "-p" switch configurable, the way it 
was before. No regexps, just the same rules as for GNU diff, perhaps with 
the difference being that it would be on by default.

Another possible approach is to say
 - if the first line of the real diff matches the rules, do NOT add 
   another line that matches the rule at the @@-line.

since the simple @@-line rule really doesn't make sense for any file that 
is "dense" (ie where most lines start with non-whitespace).
