When a tool supports both regular expressions and literal strings, which should be the default? If you default to regex, users can match more strings than they realise (e.g. `foo.txt`) or less (e.g. `foo(bar)`). I typically see regex as the default, but I prefer the opposite.

I still find C-style format strings to be more readable than Rust format strings. "Player %s has score %d" vs "Player {} has score {}". The former feels a little easier to visualise how it will look in practice. Have I missed anything? Every format string specification I've ever looked at is surprisingly big.

I've released difftastic 0.48! Highlights in this release: * Subword highlighting in replaced strings! This is a big improvement in many situations. * Better Scala parsing * Better Haskell handling
