"The Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans."  I live in a word of
command lines almost exclusively, unless I am running a Web browser.
Consequently, the underlying system can be Linux, BSD, OS X, Cygwin,
or none of the above.  When I want to see a diff, I type
"diff file1 file2 | less".

Very efficient, I'm sure.  But to each their own.

No doubt.  But it also handles /cygdrive/c paths, the moral equivalent
of /mnt/c paths, and that's what I use.
