We may want to report errors that occur not just on the line numbers of
modified lines, but also errors that occur one or two lines after a deleted or
added line.  This is because whether a line is an error can depend on lines
previous to it.

The worst that can happen is that some errors may be reported that are not the
fault of the contributor (which is not necessarily a bad thing).
