make it somehow more obvious in README that it's not `D`? #51

I kept hitting D trying to make this work and shocked at how it would just delete the swp instead of open a diff. Arg. Stupid me. But still, somehow adding a really obvious bold bit to the README saying "using i, not D!!!" would be appropriate for this plugin that is liable to this confusion.

Anyway, thanks, it works great!!

thanks, pushed a change. Please check.

Definite improvement. I won't push on this more, but for reference, I'd write it more more like:

Press **i** to see the diff. (Don't press `D`! That will still *delete* the swap file!)

And maybe make it a bullet item to draw attention to it.

If you like these suggestions, go ahead, but anyway, I'm happy enough, and again: wonderful plugin, it ought to be built-in to Vim!

would you like to create a PR for that?

I started considering chatting about the issues and explaining that I wasn't sure if my suggestion was agreed to be good etc. but I decided to not waste more time talking about it and went and revised the whole README to improve it overall. Cheers
