If you look at patcher-built-in-themes, you will find themes postfixed
with -ws (for whitespace) with diff commands tweaked to skip
whitespace-only differences in the diffs output.
Ah, that’s actually very helpful. Thanks!
(On experimentation, odd how it preserves whitespace in some places, but not
others; I suppose removing newlines would make the algorithm more
difficult.)
