This sits alongside the existing unified `render` method that produces a single merged view.\n\n**Why**\n\nThis lays the groundwork for displaying diffs and code side by side, gutter next to content, as an alternative to the current single merged view.\n\n- Area: Elsewhere\n- Tier: Under the hood\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 2\/5"}
