Still nowhere but almost humans are still insensible in it.

It's as a knife that is used to cut meat but too is used to cut rope, to cut cables of light, to cut tubes, to attack or to unscrew screws as the actor McGiver does it.

If the diff format (or mails's delta) is extended and improved to simplify '> ' or '| ' columns then the packed can gain much its reduction of size!.
