Seems that this would be a case where one ought to be able to show
something in the status line -- and the 'diff' setting seems to be
useful in this regard.
So, may I suggest using something like: set stl="... %{&diff? "[DIFF]"
: ""} ..." where the dots is your choice controlling whatever else you
might like to have in your statusline. Maybe a %d (for [diff]) and %D
(for [DIFF]) would be useful for new statusline modifiers? (presumably
would expand to nothing when &diff is false)
