The submitted script was more of a demonstration of the idea of a shortcut
utility, rather than something meant for immediate inclusion. (The idea is
that using the script is easier than typing a pipeline of greps or an awk
script everytime.) I understand that there's no interest for such a utility,
but thanks for pointing out a more efficient way for implementing it!
