 * Diff works as advertised. It highlights changes to lines of code inside my child-
   theme files as compared to the parent theme files.
 * Since I’m using a premium theme, I don’t have control over how the theme is written,
   so the [@version](https://wordpress.org/support/users/version/) detection feature
   will doubtfully be useful in this case since the parent theme isn’t using that
   on top of all their pages.
 * They are however using the [@since](https://wordpress.org/support/users/since/)
   tag for almost every function. That seems complicated to track. Diff is already
   highlighting the differences between lines of code, so [@since](https://wordpress.org/support/users/since/)
   might not be too useful either.
