Right, a lot of people do it on purpose to avoid diff seeing the label
as the function for --show-c-function. I just find the style annoying

Now, if the option would've been called --show-function (without the
explicit reference to C) one could argue that seeing this form is useful
for .S files but... ;-)

With:
diff mbox
