Ignoring Certain Changes
------------------------
It would be nice to have a feature for specifying two strings, one in
FROM-FILE and one in TO-FILE, which should be considered to match.
Thus, if the two strings are `foo' and `bar', then if two lines differ
only in that `foo' in file 1 corresponds to `bar' in file 2, the lines
are treated as identical.
It is not clear how general this feature can or should be, or what
syntax should be used for it.
A partial substitute is to filter one or both files before comparing,
e.g.:
sed 's/foo/bar/g' file1 | diff - file2
However, this outputs the filtered text, not the original.
