Comment (by catalyst):

 I looked briefly at Python's diffutils library and it seems plausible as a
 basis for such a tool.

 We'd need some easily-parsed way to mark exceptions, and maybe some way to
 double-check that the anchors names match their item names. (Also we
 should skip the "formatting only" anchors.)
