-    The fancy reports had a bug for a long time where any trailing whitespace on
-    the reported diff lines was stripped, making it impossible to see the
-    differences in line reported as different that differed only in the amount of
-    trailing whitespace.  The whitespace still isn't particularly visible unless
-    you use NDIFF, but at least it is now there to be found.

-    leading whitespace error in executing the example below
