 --   This type abstracts the type indices of 'DiffRenderer' and 'TermRenderer' s.t. multiple renderers can be present in a single list, alternation, etc., while retaining the ability to render and serialize. (Without 'SomeRenderer', the different output types of individual term/diff renderers prevent them from being used in a homogeneously typed setting.)
