Hi, Thanks for replying!
I was using an older version (3.8) of diffutils on my machine, and I believe this feature was introduced recently. So, I thought it might be a bug. Now, I've grown more curious about how this feature is implemented to handle stdin. Implementing it without stdin seems fairly straightforward. Looking forward to your response.
