Yes, I have.  It doesn't make much of a dent in the real problem, which
is separating diffs like:

- portmap_enable="YES"            # Run the portmapper service (or NO)
+ portmap_enable="YES"            # Run the portmapper service (or NO).

from

- portmap_enable="NO"             # Run the portmapper service (or NO).
+ portmap_enable="YES"            # Run the portmapper service (or NO).

from

  portmap_enable="YES"            # Run the portmapper service (or NO).
+ portmap_flags=""                # Flags to portmap (if enabled).

ad infinitum.

The latest "compromise" is still good enough for me.  I just don't
want to go back to having to edit the same file that I have to
upgrade.
