"Hey, while we're at it, have an option to highlight the
matched pattern(s) in STANDOUT MODE (i.e. add control
characters based on getenv("TERM") or a -Tname option)."
As an amusing side note, in 1981 I marketed a set of Unix-like
utilities for CP/M-80 in which the grep clone did just this. It got
good reviews. Gee, maybe I'll go hack our local grep.c ... :-)
