I don't know how compare non-cosmetic changes only, nor the best way to
show differences *within* a line instead of only entire-line
differences.  Both of these would be very nice.

However, I worked on RB's pretty print to suit my own formatting tastes
(I was raised with Beck's "Rectangular Block") a couple of weeks ago. 
I now, *finally*, have hot-key auto-formatting of my code that I can
tolerate.

I realize what a great productivity booster auto-formatting is.  YOu
can just place the cursor within a method, type like crazy whatever you
need, then hit command+shift+s followed by command+s.

Made me wonder how much cumululative time I've spent over the years
manually formatting code..   :-\

PS - I'm disappointed to hear we're converting a bunch of legacy code
to use := instead of left-arrow..  Why mark the original authors of the
code with your own personal preference?
