ediff is the "obvious" method, but it's far too heavyweight, clunky,
and awkward for many cases (to tell the truth, I think ediff is too
clunky and awkward even for comparing files most of the time). It
would be great to have a simple function that compared two sections of
a buffer and maybe added overlays highlighting the equal/different
bits; perhaps such a function could share some ediff code.
