No.  It lacks context.  In this sense, it's like an augmented normal
diff (where "augmented" refers to the ability to represent file
removal or addition, as well as the token-replace patch type),
although it uses "+" and "-" to indicate additions and deletions, like
a unified diff.  Or maybe it's closest to a diff -U 0 patch.

It shouldn't be that hard to do.  The header format that says what
file to apply to and which line should not be hard to translate.
