For ChangeLogs, which rarely apply if they have any context.  The
unidiff format is preferred by XEmacs because it provides the headers
which identify the ChangeLog exactly.  I don't think it hurts that all
patches are in the same format.

Not a big deal, but since it's trivial to do, why not?

If you remember how to read them. :-)  I only ever see those in patch
.rej files.
