Hi,
the documentation for diffutils uses the words "at present", which
quickly gets wrong and outdated.
https://github.com/Distrotech/diffutils/blame/49e3b25b41c934ca6945d94de98d747fa5cc9922/doc/diff.texi#L801
GNU diff is not really the only program in the world that can generate
and apply unified diffs.
Please fix the documentation to avoid the words "at present", "last
year" and similar terms.

Best,
Roland
