An interesting comment from the Coverity paper: randomisation is a very powerful technique for checkers that would require exponential work. Unfortunately it increases the likelihood of churn.

@aburka Thanks for the feedback!
Definitely agreed on ours vs theirs, it's really confusing. Unfortunately I'm limited to how the sides are named in the file.
I like the diff3 conflictStyle in git, as it shows the base as well as both sides. I can't guarantee that the base is visible though, and it gives me three files to diff rather than two. Not sure about this case yet.
Copilot was super helpful for changing some locals to lazy_static!:
let integer_re = Regex::new(...) // old
static ref INTEGER_RE = Regex::new(...) // new
Unfortunately, it added a $ to the end of my first regex! It saved me a ton of keystrokes, but needed careful checking.
Today I learnt that you can simulate a command being run in a TTY with `script`, e.g.
$ script --return --quiet --command "ls"
Unfortunately it generates output files called "typescript", which is a little confusing!
