I was referring back to an output example symmetric diff that was 
clipped somewhere along the way:

In x not in y:
...
In y not in x:

rather than just using -,+ prefixes which are not necessarily 
self-explanatory. 'Not applicable' would refer to output from difflib 
which necessarily is ordered.
