How about adding a "--just-diff" option to do that? (we currently have
a --quiet option that kills *all* output - then only the exit status
is relevant - which I find quiet useless. How about changing the
meaning of --quiet to display the diff and only the diff?)

Another point I don't like with the new system is that it doesn't
mention diff for binary files at all.
