As I mentioned in the PR I don't see a reason why that option should be
extended to also contain diff which will be mostly quite useless if one
just want to see the configuration files. I can see why someone would want
the diff functionality but it should be probably using a different option
or the previously suggested --ini=diff. Personally I don't really mind what
it is, just not using the same one.
