While we are discussing about diff, there is one thing that has
been bugging me occasionally, but the annoyance factor has not
motivated me enough to look into it myself, because I do not use
it often: --color-words.  It appears that it shows lines that do
not have any word differences in bold (whatever diff.color.meta
is configured) and I think it should use plain color instead.

Was this intentional, or just a simple plain bug?

I noticed when I was reviewing documentation patch I received
from Dave Peticolas today (the feature is great for "apply the
patch as received, review the --color-words output, and undo the
uncalled-for line wrapping" workflow).
