Feature Request: Align the line numbers to the filename or if the text is wrapped then align to the beginning of the line.

Hi,

Align the line numbers with the file names that are compared.

A.text B.text
1 blablabla 1 blablabla
2 blablabla 2 blablabla
3 blablabla 3 blablabla

Thanks.

Hmm, it looks right to me? Can you give an example of how you think it should look?

$ ./icdiff --line-numbers tests/input-{4,5}.txt
tests/input-4.txt                 tests/input-5.txt                
       1 #input, #button {               1 #input, #button {       
       2   width: 350px;                 2   width: 400px;         
       3   height: 40px;                 3   height: 40px;         
                                         4   font-size: 30px;      
       4   margin: 0px;                  5   margin: 0;            
       5   padding: 0px;                 6   padding: 0;           
       6   margin-bottom: 15px;                                    
       7   text-align: center;           7   text-align: center;   
       8 }                               8 }

The first character in the filename/path is align with the line numbers.

Sorry, my English is bad.

Right now the filename is left-aligned while the line numbers are right-aligned. So right now we have:

$ ./icdiff --line-numbers <(cat tests/input-{4,4}.txt) <(cat tests/input-{5,5}.txt) --cols=70
/dev/fd/63                         /dev/fd/62                        
       1 #input, #button {                1 #input, #button {        
       2   width: 350px;                  2   width: 400px;          
       3   height: 40px;                  3   height: 40px;          
                                          4   font-size: 30px;       
       4   margin: 0px;                   5   margin: 0;             
       5   padding: 0px;                  6   padding: 0;            
       6   margin-bottom: 15px;                                      
       7   text-align: center;            7   text-align: center;    
       8 }                                8 }                        
       9 #input, #button {                9 #input, #button {        
      10   width: 350px;                 10   width: 400px;          
      11   height: 40px;                 11   height: 40px;          
                                         12   font-size: 30px;       
      12   margin: 0px;                  13   margin: 0;             
      13   padding: 0px;                 14   padding: 0;            
      14   margin-bottom: 15px;                                      
      15   text-align: center;           15   text-align: center;    
      16 }                               16 }                        

Would switching the line numbers to be left-aligned look better?

14         margin-bottom: 15px;                                      
15         text-align: center;     15         text-align: center;    
16       }                         16       }

Yes, but the texts should also be switched to the left.

Or, if the text is wrapped then align to the beginning of the line.
