Yes, I have, but I'd like something a bit better.
I'm trying to write a little function using before-save-hook to compare
the current buffer to the saved version and output the result of
diffstat, asking the user whether they want to go ahead with the save or
view the full diff. Or has someone done something like this before?
I suppose one could do this with some kind of before-change- type
function if feeling particularly paranoid.
