Agreed. This code needs some TLC.

Can I make one suggestion about how to improve it? As it is now, it
compares files character by character. This can lead, in my experience,
to some weird and hard to read diffs. Would it be possible to adapt it
so that it could also read word by word where those are, say, split by
whitespace? I know that in some languages that would not make sense, so
this could be a choice the user could make.
