Honestly, I think we should be scared of a patch applier that ignored
differences in context lines. After all, that's why those context lines
are there -- so that they provide additional location cues for the lines
being modified. If you allow random other lines to be there, you could
be inserting stuff in arbitrarily erroneous places.
