 2.2.3 Showing Which Sections Differences Are in
 -----------------------------------------------
 
 Sometimes you might want to know which part of the files each change
 falls in.  If the files are source code, this could mean which function
 was changed.  If the files are documents, it could mean which chapter or
 appendix was changed.  GNU 'diff' can show this by displaying the
 nearest section heading line that precedes the differing lines.  Which
 lines are "section headings" is determined by a regular expression.

· C Function Headings Showing headings of C functions.
