xfreopen() may need a patch
Thanks for pointing out the problems with my suggestion. I think I'd
rather leave xfreopen alone, as silently adjusting its argument from
"wb" to "ab" might cause other problems. Instead, I added a Gnulib
module to set the

Something like that shouldn't be hard, although "do not output anything"
is too simple, a
Yes, I understand. So maybe that supposed option should make grep go
