I first wrote this, and then removed 'command' when I thought that on a system without GNU diff a user may have installed GNU diff and made diff be an alias to GNU diff. But maybe it's quite uncommon especially with diff (which is used by several commands and is thus better put in the PATH). Also, I should say: I understand why _pids is running $(command ps ...) but the difference in _diff_options is that we should be testing the command that the user is actually running.
