There is a --diff option that works if the rows and columns are both exactly aligned. But this post makes me think about adding functionality to match by row key and column name, possibly via the "diff" join (current diff join is

Human biomass displaces other species. It is no coincidence that the human population has doubled sine 1970...while the number of wild (non-domesticated) animals has halved. So sure, we might be able to support 80 billion (!!) humans...but
