Hi,

Thanks for replying!

I was using an older version (3.8) of diffutils on my machine, and I
believe this feature was introduced recently. So, I thought it might be a
bug. Now, I've grown more curious about how this feature is implemented to
handle stdin. Implementing it without stdin seems fairly straightforward.

Looking forward to your response.

Thanks,
Tanmay
