Suggestion for diffutils manual

[Jerry Peek]

Hi.  I'm reading the excellent Diffutils manual (version 2.8.1, 5 April 
2002), online at www.gnu.org as of this morning (9 April 2007).  I have 
a suggestion.

In 
http://www.gnu.org/software/diffutils/manual/html_mono/diff.html#Detailed%20diff3%20Normal 
, in the section labeled "file:rc", is the sentence:

> The range r is a comma-separated pair of line numbers, or just
> one number if the range is a singleton.

Although "the range is a singleton" is a precise description, I wonder 
whether everyone reading this manual will understand it.  ("Singleton" 
is a term I learned while I was studying Computer Science; I hadn't 
heard it before.)  I'd like to suggest rewriting the sentence this way:

> The range r is a comma-separated pair of line numbers, or just
> one number if there's only one line.

Thanks again for this excellent documentation!

Jerry
