-Patch files. If you want to create a patch that you can later apply,
-use `diff`. Difftastic ignores whitespace, so its output is
-lossy. (AST patching is also a hard problem.)
+Patching. Difftastic output is intended for human consumption, and it
+does not generate patches that you can apply later. Use `diff` if you
+need a patch.
