Personally I don't need this extension per se since I don't care about one
excess diff line.
What I do care about however, is the horrendous style people invented to avoid
“the diff problem”.
As an example
something = [ foo
, bar
, baz
]
So I’d really like to see this extension, even if only to conquer the
aforementioned style.
PS But this all is indeed a little bikeshedding before we finish the
“Infrastructure & Communication” thread.
