	 * @param edits
	 *            result list to append the region's edits onto.
	 * @param cmp
	 *            the comparator supplying the element equivalence function.
	 * @param a
	 *            the first (also known as old or pre-image) sequence. Edits
	 *            returned by this algorithm will reference indexes using the
	 *            'A' side: {@link Edit#getBeginA()}, {@link Edit#getEndA()}.
	 * @param b
	 *            the second (also known as new or post-image) sequence. Edits
	 *            returned by this algorithm will reference indexes using the

	 * @param region
	 *            the region being compared within the two sequences.
