Probably not. Difftastic is young. Consider writing a plugin for your
favourite tool, and I will link it in the README!
### Can I use difftastic to check for syntactic changes without diffing?
Yes. Difftastic can check if the two files have the same AST, without
calculating a diff. This is much faster than normal diffing, and
useful for building tools that check for changes.
For example:
```
$ difft --check-only --exit-code before.js after.js
```
This will set the exit code to 0 if there are no syntactic changes, or
1 if there are changes found.
