Details:
$ echo " " | grep -c '^\s'
1
$ echo s | grep -c '^\s'
0
According to the documentation, the results ~should~ be:
$ echo " " | grep -c '^\s'
0
$ echo s | grep -c '^\s'
1
If this is a desired feature (and I for one think it is very
undesirable to change the way grep works) it should be at least
documented.
