I'd been hoping to fix the order by sorting the order of reported-on
entries inside the reporter code (thus achieving a stable ordering for
diffs), though it hadn't occurred to me that the ordering would also be
influenced by the access method. Hmp.

Ideally, I'd like to be able to say 'the diff has all of these chunks,
but it doesn't matter what order they arrive in'. That would allow us
to continue providing test cases with complete expected output, which I
find are both a lot easier to understand - and a lot better at detecting
errors - than programmatic testing of the form 'there must be a filename
like <regexp> followed by a line with a minus sign at the start'.
