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.
