/**
 * The `xdiff_emit_line_fn` function can return 1 to abort early, or 0
 * to continue processing. Note that doing so is an all-or-nothing
 * affair, as returning 1 will return all the way to the top-level,
 * e.g. the xdi_diff_outf() call to generate the diff.
 *
 * Thus returning 1 means you won't be getting any more diff lines. If
 * you need something in-between those two options you'll to use
 * `xdl_emit_hunk_consume_func_t` and implement your own version of
 * xdl_emit_diff().
 *
 * We may extend the interface in the future to understand other more
 * granular return values. While you should return 1 to exit early,
 * doing so will currently make your early return indistinguishable
 * from an error internal to xdiff, xdiff itself will see that
 * non-zero return and translate it to -1.
 *
 * See "diff_grep" in diffcore-pickaxe.c for a trick to work around
 * this, i.e. using the "consume_callback_data" to note the desired
 * early return.
