I'm not sure how to trigger the "FILE..." behaviour.

Thanks, that's a typo in the --help output. It's been there since commit 9a57dd54d693952dc3f63ed8baaf99f2fb695132 dated 1998, and you're the first to report it! I installed the attached patch.

It would be nice to extend 'diff' in the ways that you're probably thinking of, and that's been proposed, but it hasn't been implemented as far as I know. Should be done for 'cmp' too.
