Good work. Could you do some simple things to help our reviewer's work:

*) consistent spacing (around '='s and '{':s (and '=>':s) etc.
*) consistent amount of newlines
*) consitent quoting (use same ':s or ":s in similar context)
*) M-x whitespace-cleanup (or M-x delete-trailing-whitespace) in pivot...
*) something else than @ in m@ ... @x (at least in unpack_diff_lines) (confuses viewers)
