I think that this is an excellent principle that we should uphold.
Personally I don't need this extension per se since I don't care about one excess diff line. What I do care about however, is the horrendous style people invented to avoid “the diff problem”. As an example something = [ foo , bar , baz ] So I’d really like to see this extension, even if only to conquer the aforementioned style.
