Oh, sorry.
enter the text shown in the screenshots, place the cursor on line 4 of
file_a.txt ("cb"), press <Leader>mda to "mark diff alignment". Go to line 2 of
file_b.txt and again type <Leader>mda> to indicate that those two points
correspond to each other. Then run :diffupdate.
I think I have logic in there that ignores all the alignment points if there
aren't the same number in each buffer but I'm not sure if I got around to that.

I don't think that's a very good idea, what if somebody uses diffexpr to
specify the full path to diff? Or to use a separate program entirely, and they
don't even have diff installed on their system? Then the test will always fail,
right?
But it should be documented by diffexpr how the test actually works, it took me
quite by surprise.
