Hi *bug-diffutils@HIDDEN <bug-diffutils@HIDDEN>* subscribers.

   - Case 1

Commands executed:
$ echo - > a1 && echo + > a2
$ diff -y a1 a2
-                                  |    +

Both terminal,  from which patterns are *copied*, and text editor document,
to which pattern is *pasted *=E2=80=93 *see attachment* =E2=80=93, use mono=
-space font.
Output resulting from 'diff -y a1 a2' contains *tabular* and *point *marks
in the same row as separators between left'-sided column and right'-sided
column. Would it be suitable according to developers to produce separators
relying on a unique mark =E2=80=93 *tabular* or *point* =E2=80=93 ?

   - Case 2

As noticeable, the tool *Diff *allows for *options combinations* that
cannot cohabit together because of their very features. A way for *Diff* to
avoid handling such combinations would be appropriate. Here is an
illustration of such combinations:

$ diff -qsy a1 a2
Files a1 and a2 differ
$ diff -yqs a1 a2
Files a1 and a2 differ
$ diff -qys a1 a2
Files a1 and a2 differ

Regards, R.T.
