[New-bugs-announce] [issue43689] difflib: mention other "problematic" characters in documentation

[Jürgen Gmach]

New submission from Jürgen Gmach <juergen.gmach at googlemail.com>:

In the documentation you can currently read for the "?"-output:

"These lines can be confusing if the sequences contain tab characters."

>From first hand experience :-), I can assure it is also very confusing for other types of whitespace characters, such as spaces and line breaks.

I'd like to add the other characters to the documentation.
