[ef]grep
I guess my basic issue is that I don't understand the benefit of the new
warning. It causes a lot of trouble. What is the countervailing
positive benefit?
$ grep '\Q' /dev/null
grep: warning: stray \ before Q
It would be nice to be able to turn those off too. (It hit me today.)
Those warnings are even worse than [ef]grep in a way, since they are not
changeable just by editing the scripts, but built-in behavior.
We've been moving away from environment variables like GREP_OPTIONS,
though, for security reasons.
Personally, I don't see a security issue with the putative GREPWARNINGS?
Unlike GREP_OPTIONS, whose removal is understandable (though it sure was
convenient, alas). --karl
