Try this:
* Save the MCZ to a directory
* Add that directory as repository to MCZ
* Open it, navigate to the MCZ
* Choose "Changes" from the repo browser
This will show the diff of the MCZ in question to whatever is in your image.

Where? I just double-checked and can't find any comments in
join-kph.2.mcz (the version I'm looking at).

I *never* do that. It's a lossy transformation of source code.
Formatting reveals intent often just as strongly as a comments.

I'm not (at least I don't think of myself as being one). To me, the most
important questions are: How useful is this extension in general? How
applicable to other domains? How quickly come examples for it to mind?
How much would this extension simplify the resulting code? And I can't
say that for split/join I find that the benefits outweigh the added
complexity. Others may disagree of course.
Cheers,
