diffoscope uses colour to highlight intra-line differences in the HTML
output but the terminal output only does a colordiff-style output. It
would be nice if the terminal mode could highlight intra-line changes.

The package ccdiff contains a tool that can do intra-line difference
highlighting with `diff -u` style output, but it is written in Perl.

For example, diffoscope only highlights full lines:

$ diffoscope gtranscribe_0.7.1-2.dsc gtranscribe_0.8-1.dsc
