I'd like to use diff --color=auto instead, but the --palette option only offers a single control for the color of diff headers. colordiff supports coloring the --- and +++ headers differently, and also provides a separate color option for the header showing diff options (diff -Naur ...). Could diff please provide an option in --palette for these additional color choices? Thank you.
