+# Currently, only shows changes for functions listed in both files. We
+# could add an option to show also functions which have vanished or
+# appeared (which would often be due to gcc making other inlining
+# decisions).
+#
+# Another possible option would be a minimum absolute value for the
+# delta.
+#
+# A third possibility is for sorting by delta, but that can be
+# achieved by piping to sort -k5,5g.
