After 3+ years of Github I did not remember that B&W diffs use lines with 
change position markers and in particular that at they (often? always?) start 
with ?s. IDLE also uses color to mark positions (for syntax errors).  The 
following would have been clearer to me and likely to people who have never 
seen such lines.

"Location marker lines beginning with ‘?’ use symbols to guide the eye to 
intraline differences."

Tim, you seem to still think that tabs are especially problematical. 

Jürgen, without evidence otherwise, I agree with this.  Adding other chars to 
the sentence would dilute the current focus on tabs.  Hence my request for 
examples to justify doing so.  Sorry I was not as clear as I could and should 
have been.
