Differencing .sln and .xxproj files

Why can I not diff (compare) a solution or project file in Visual Studio by right-clicking on the file in the Solution Explorer and selecting ‘Compare’? The only way, AFAIK, to perform a diff in the IDE is (after selecting the file in the Solution Explorer) to do File > Source Control > Compare.  

I wonder why that is…    (and feel free to call me lazy for wanting to leverage the context menu)

I wouldn't call you lazy and you are not alone. It really pisses me off having to do the same.
