It would be nice to have choice of algorithm used.
For examples diff uses 4 of them: Myers, Minimal, Patience, Histogram

I would like an algorithm tolerant of garbage at the beginning of lines (typical assembler listing with line/address numbering)
The following two pieces of code show the problem when compared:

1 mov
2 add
3 mul
4 div
1 mov
2 sub
3 add
4 mul
5 div
