what are blue signs appearing in vimdiff panes ?

If you look at lines 879-884 of the left pane, and lines
1583-1588 of the right pane  you can see blue signs
near line numbers. What do they signify ?

I just did vimdiff and no special options. What do they
mean, those spooky signs, in the middle of no-difference region ?

They mean those lines are an open diff fold.

Precisely that there are no differences in that
region, which is why it can be safely folded away
by the fold commands.

I notice you have the default 'context:6' in your
'diffopt', since there are 6 lines between the
delimited fold and the adjacent differences.
