I like how the options are now presented first,
and one can jump to the (improved) examples if needed.

One typo I noticed: s/assumng/assuming/

It might be worth mentioning along with the
existing examples in the "unpaired lines" section
the associated set operations for the mathematically inclined?
  https://www.pixelbeat.org/cmdline.html#sets
I.E. s/print only common lines/&, i.e. the intersection of the files/

thanks!
