But it doesn't work. I want to distinguish the file ("^diff\>.*" aka
diffFile) from the new file ("^+++ .*" aka diffNewFile).

So in my colorscheme I have diffNewFile: 'green', diffOldFile: 'red',
diffFile: 'blue' reversed.

How do you propose I distinguish diffFile from diffNewFile without my patch?
