Description
In this view, the first line difference is only in the source file - this DLL pulls in static libs that use the same cppwinrt version, but different runs of its projector, so it's got both lib1/obj/winrt/base.h and lib2/obj/winrt/base.h. The second difference is actually meaningful (comparing IIDs in queryinterface.)
I'd like to fix the diff view to either ignore the file-path difference in the view, or mask the "noncommon source base path" so only the real differences in code are shown.

Research direction
Start by locating the Template Foldability diff view and trace how it compares source file paths. The change is done when differences caused only by noncommon source base paths are masked while meaningful code differences, such as IID comparisons in QueryInterface, remain visible.
