Subject: bug#61396: diff mode could distinguish changed from deleted lines

i think it is in diff-mode in emacs, at least when it is displaying diff -u.

in particular, the idea is whether it can be solved using emacs
features such as faces.

it is true that diff and friends can often do colors, but to my
knowledge, diff-mode uses raw text as its input.
