This allows users to view ``semantic diffs'', i.e. changes to the document itself, not to its underlying representation. Similarly, Lisp-like languages could greatly benefit from a tailored diff format, an ``sexp-diff''. According to Google, it seems that MzScheme already has an implementation of this. Thanks, Ludovic.
