The question is can we simply rely on the exit code of cmp or diff for that kind
of comparison? If there is any out-of-order texts, that simple diff won't work.

Anything more intelligent/sensible should go as a policy, and patchew should
continue focus on mechanisms.

I'll send a pull for the patch. Thanks!

Thanks.
