By the way, what is confusing to me is the fact that the diff output
does not reflect the indentation of the code correctly. Please have a
look at the progn command, in the code the lines below progn are
indented with 2 additional spaces.
Such visual distortions arise due to tabs in the code, which is the
default (see indent-tabs-mode). Each line of the diff output starts
with 2 additional characters (<, >, +, -, or !, then a space); that may
or may not result in the subsequent printable characters being displayed
2 columns to the right, depending on whether any intervening tabs get
pushed past the next (8-column) tab stop.
I know it's disconcerting, but you just have to learn to ignore it.
