True. Also depending on 'old' vs 'new', the translation of "filename" or
other parts of the message may have to inflect/conjugate, so the original
message structure was very unfriendly to i18n.

I think this is way over-engineered. enum { DIFF_OLD = 0, DIFF_NEW = 1 }
or even passing 'n' vs 'o' was what I was expecting to see.
