Difftastic uses the same parse tree for diffing and highlighting. This has a really nice side effect: you can spot parsing bugs from highlighting!
It's subtle, but difftastic shows parentheses/braces in bold. I noticed that < and > weren't bold, and fixed the parser :)

It looks like one of my bug reports was mentioned, so I'm delighted but wish I'd noticed earlier!
