Playing with optional type signatures in Python, I realise that the return type is the most important to me. I'd much rather have a function with only a return type instead of a function with only parameter types. It's often quick to add too.

I've written my first man page! https://github.com/Wilfred/difftastic/commit/cb63ca88303d3c8dffd763cf6e5772e45c045588 Troff syntax is new to me and a little hard to read -- apparently you shouldn't use blank lines. Turns out you can use pandoc to convert markdown to troff instead.
