However, it seems to me that if grep prints this "warning:" every time grep is used, we don't just deprecate this feature (with a promise to remove it later), we actually make this feature unusable immediately, because nobody wants to see this message on every invocation of grep. But I'm personally fine with this change, if you are. Thanks, Nadav. -- Nadav Har'El n...@cloudius-systems.com
