Note that @code{ediff-patch-file} will actually use the @code{patch}
utility to change the original files on disk.  This is not that
dangerous, since you will always have the original contents of the file
saved in another file that has the extension @file{.orig}.
Furthermore, if the file is under version control, then you can always back
out to one of the previous versions (see the section on Version Countrol in
Emacs manual).

@code{ediff-patch-file} is careful about versions control: if the file
to be patched is checked in, then Ediff will offer to check it out, because
failing to do so may result in the loss of the changes when the file is
checked out the next time.

reduce the risk of developing a cataract.

In other situations, the currently highlighted region might be big and you
might want to reconcile of them interactively.

All of this can be done with the above comand, @kbd{=}, which
compares regions within Ediff buffers.  Typing @kbd{=} creates a
child Ediff session for comparing regions in buffers A, B, or
C as follows.

First, you will be asked whether you want to compare the fine differences
