I'm fine with it. unfortunately we've been using up the number of
'newbies to hunk splitting' who are on the mailing list, to test new
things on. Unless we can go out and do more of that usability testing,
we might as well release with what we've got and see what happens...

OK, here's an amendement taking some comments into account:
- Petr/Max that centering is important
- Isaac and Florent (in a way) that hints should not mislead
users into thinking the UI is limited to certain way
- Petr that we could regroup the hints.
- Ganesh that we could use a more unlikely split separator
(I'm doing it in a weak/simple way)
Perhaps if there are no strong objections, we should push this and maybe make
further refinements on that?
Thanks for all the comments!

* Simpler and more intuitive help text for hunk editor.
Note that we lead the user to only edit the second chunk of text;
but power users can still edit the first chunk if they like.
(Thanks to Petr Ročkai for suggestions on the text!)
