Yes, that was intentional.  At least for me, colored output I can scan
(for unmodified/added/deleted) much faster than output only marked up
with +/-.  The -R option for less (I have it specified in $LESS) is
responsible to properly display that.

I also haven't been used to it until a few years ago; it's another thing
I find temenduously useful at times.

0001-Split-up-gcc-omp-low.c-plain.patch.xz attached.
