In the context of file update, we often have to be able to update file that are not *exactly* the same.

From Wikipedia:
"patch is able to recover from this, by looking at nearby lines to relocate the text to be patched. It will also recover when lines of context (for context and unified diffs) are altered; this is described as fuzz."

It would be required to have the same recovery ability.
