hello. we have an automated test-suite were we compare the output of our programm which includes some amount of numerical data. The problem is that we run many different plattforms were numerical results may differ slightly. Therefore it would be nice if diff would support an optional numerical comparison (for text-files) in a way that it tries to interpret digits as numbers and then compares them with a user-supplied precision. As this surely will slow down normal text compare it should be included as an optional mode.
