I think it would make it a better companion to --pickaxe but we need to align its behaviour a little bit so that it plays better with the "--pickaxe-all" option, and also needs to hide mode and name only changes just like pickaxe. After all, the diffcore-blobfind code was written while looking at the diffcore-pickaxe's code in another window shown in the pager, and I tend to agree with your earlier message that this is an extreme case of -S<contents> where the contents happens to be the whole file.
