At this point, more for completeness than usefulness, necessarily.

heh... some of this coding system/byte stuff is pretty alien to me.

the empty string "" should be escaped, i.e., \"\".

Hi,

I was excited when I saw this library listed as "Helpers for computing deltas between objects," but I was slightly disappointed when I saw that it's only for strings. To me, "objects" sounds like it means lists, vectors, conses, alists, plists, hash-tables, EIEIO objects, etc. It might be good if you made the package description more specific. :)

Not quite sure how useful it is in an emacs use-case to require (or default to) newline-terminated strings for many of these functions (e.g. difflib-compare, difflib-unified-diff, difflib-context-diff) - we're probably not reading stdin or anything like that.
