OK.
A separate frontend would probably have to implement match
highlighting again. That's not too hard, but a bit sad.
Yeah, but at the same time, a separate front-end could do a lot more than
just grep. Letting the user pick a function name from the current output
and run grep again, letting the user highlight the line range and run
blame (or "Linus's ultimate content tracking tool"), etc.
... But I think the idea to deduplicate the meta-information and give
found content more screen real estate is a good one in general.
Yeah, I found the "sound of one hand clapping" in your other message
somewhat intriguing ;-).
