Hm, I thought it's not a conflict unless there are three versions.

However, Jason's suggestion is correct: instead of writing a new tool for this purpose, we should leverage existing tools. Cool! I can focus on writing transformations.

Excellent idea! This leads to a funny conclusion, actually. These days I have source control everywhere. I review most changes in an edit-capable differ before checking in. So my diff tools are already all set up for reviewing changes (and making further changes during a review, like adding comments). So get this: Guido's dream is already implemented on my system! Give me the "--destructively-modify-in-place" option and I'll be all set. :) -j
