In GNU diff 2.0 documentation, -LINES is declared to be obsolescent.
Let me suggest implementing a new `-U LINES' meaning `--unified=LINES'
to parallel the fact that `-C LINES' means `--context=LINES'.  One
should not ought to recourse to full option names nor obsolescent
features just for specifying a number of context lines for unidiffs.
