Sorry but I don't see that much difference in diff+, the only things
done more is

calls `fit-frame-if-one-window' at end, which by the way I don't find
anywhere in the doc, not even with M-x apropos.

My desire was to see the diff with the syntax highlighting of the
original language, it it could be possible...
