I'm finding that a bit bloated. My own attempt is the attached, which
is much simpler, returning only array for the lines of @tail and
@head. I am not sure to see the use-case in favor of enforcing the
line count for the caller of the new routine based on what's on this
thread, so I have left that out to simplify the patch.
v5 had a mistake: slurp_file() on the full diffs should be removed
once we dump only the tail and head. It is true that 027 would add an
extra line if regression.diffs is too short when written this way, but
the information reported is the same, while keeping the code simpler
in 027. A portion of the comment at the top of the block printing the
diffs could be removed: with the limitation of lines in place we don't
bloat the output anymore.
