Preview post diff before saving
It's possible to view the differences between two adjacent, existing revisions of a post through the *History* feature. Post owners can, of course, make arbitrary edits to posts, save those, and see the results both in terms of the final result as well as such a diff. (Others need the [Edit Posts](/abilities/edit_posts) ability for that.) However, there have been times, at least for me, when it would have been beneficial to be able to clearly see *the changes made* to a post *before* committing to those changes in public. In the *Edit* interface, could there be some kind of *Display Changes* feature that would work similarly to the history revision diff, but without having to first save the post publicly? Kind of like doing a Compare before Commit in source code control?
