Why not offer to "[C]ompare" instead of "D[i]ff"?

The name and hot key offered by the "Diff" operation are hardly intuitive. There is even an open issue (#57) about it. I thought maybe "Compare" could be a better label.

Pro:

• "Compare" is a well known word in English. "Diff" is listed in some dictionaries as slang.
• The letter "C" is free in the dialogue offered when recovering a file. Pressing it currently has no effect at all, I checked. (I have Vim 8.1.)

Contra:

• Habitual users will have to re-learn.

• • *

If there is consensus, I can take it upon myself to craft a patch and make a pull request.

I'll like the Idea

I think this can be closed now, since the pull request is merged.
