Bug aside, examples like this one make me wonder if we should force a
"last resort" match for `[^[:space:]]`.  For example,

      -aaa [aaa]
      +aaa (aaa) aaa

would still give you

      aaa (aaa)<GREEN> aaa<RESET>

which may be unexpected.

Of course, when diffing a language where something other than the
"usual" whitespace should be ignored, this behaviour would be useful.
