I just came across the GNU grep options to find files (--include, etc.). That is a terrible idea. "Do one thing and do it well" is the UNIX philosophy. "find" is for finding files, grep is for searching for text within files. Please think about the philosophy before adding more totally inappropriate options. |

If 'find' had worked well, we probably wouldn't have added -r to 'grep'.
