I do not think we want an automated tool that rewrites the source

existing test-lint framework (i.e., 'test-grep' that 'test-lint'
target depends on in t/Makefile) that gives diagnosis in a similar
fashion as test-lint-shell-syntax and test-chainlint do.

Also some existing uses of "grep" are not end-user facing and should
not be rewritten to "test_grep".

Apologies for not responding explicitly before sending a re-roll, I
will do that in
the future. v2 attempts to address these points as noted in the "changes"
section.
