This isn't exactly useful, because if you move the cursor over one of those multi-matches, you'll of course see the difference -- because then the match is inserted in the line. The question is if we need to display the differences in the list itself. One reason I forgot to mention why I didn't spend more time trying to implement that is: this doesn't happen very often. You'll probably find some examples for when it does happen with _path_files. Indeed, I'm almost expecting some more `bug' reports for it from you after this patch ;-) > - grouping of matches with the same context. Of course, combining it with any > user-defined grouping may be ehh ... tricky. That's why I didn't use Peter's suggestion of stuffing all those matches in an extra group (we would have to use multiple extra sub-groups, I think).
