Even more useful would be to add commands to enlarge/shrink the
context to the interactive prompt, wouldn't it?  Not all hunks need
unformly large context and having to decide how many lines of
context to ask upfront and having to stick to the choice during the
whole interactive session would be a bad interactive experience.
