Conversation
The --word-diff documentation describes the output modes and word-regex mechanics but does not explain that word-diff operates within the hunks produced by the line-level diff rather than performing an independent word-stream comparison. This can surprise users when the line-level alignment causes word-level changes to appear even though the words in both files are identical. Add a short note explaining the two-stage relationship.
