Huh?  Doesn't the "u" in "diff -up" stand for unified - not exactly the
buddhist "middle way".  The option "p" shows the function name and is useful
with both unified and context diffs.

Anyway, I'm happy to post unified diffs since the maintainer needs to
understand them while I, hopefully, already do.  I only really look at them to
check I've not included garbage.
