What patch would that be? Grep-dctrl is able to handle that, it just becomes a little messy (search in Source, and if there is no Source, search in Package). The most one could do for grep-dctrl would be to add a shorthand option for that; is it worth the trouble? Hmm, actually, it might make sense to add support for predicate abstractions.
