I have following in my ~/.vim/scripts.vim
if getline(1) =~ '^\*\slooking\sfor\s'
        setf tladiff
elseif
...
endif

This autodetects output from tla changes --diffs almost always.
And this is content of ~/.vim/syntax/tladiff.vim:

if version < 600
        syntax clear
elseif exists("b:current_syntax")
        finish
endif

runtime! syntax/diff.vim
unlet b:current_syntax

syn match diffRemoved   "^D.*"
syn match diffAdded     "^A.*"
syn match diffChanged   "^M.*"
syn match diffOldFile   "^\* looking for .*$"
syn match diffNewFile   "^\* comparing to .*$"
syn match diffComment   "^* \(added\|modified\) files$"

let b:current_syntax = "tladiff"

This colorizes some tla-specific lines.
