Functions

• slice 🔒
  Compute a linear diff between lhs and rhs.
• slice_by_hash 🔒
  Compute a linear diff between lhs and rhs, but use hashed values internally.
• slice_unique_by_hash 🔒
  Compute the linear diff between lhs and rhs. If there are items that only occur on a single side, mark them as novel without processing them with Myers’ diff.
