Default Compare two ranges in a worksheet

This is NOT a trivial task -- whether to ignore changes in whitespace or not;
whether to ignore case, etc; identifying whether a group of "different" lines
represent lines that have been inserted, or lines that have been deleted, or
lines that have been moved, etc.
