    If you've solved the deterministic-ordering problem, then this entire
    patch is quite useless.  You can just run a normal dump and diff it.


No, that's only half true.

Diff will do a good job minimizing the "size" of the diff output, yes, but such a diff is still quite useless if you want to quickly grasp the context of the change.

If you have a hundreds of functions, just looking at the changed source code is not enough to figure out which functions were modified, unless you have the brain power to memorize every single line of code and are able to figure out the function name just by looking at the old and new line of codes.



try:

 diff -F '^CREATE' ...
