Well I want the part from EOL to the right margin to follow the same
colouring as the rest of the line. If the rest of the line is mostly
grey with some inline changes then show the right hand side grey as
well. If the line is shown as a straight add/remove then show the
right hand side in the yellow/orange colours. There must be somewhere
in the algorithm where it decides to colour some parts grey, no?
