Superfluous use of cat.

$ grep .muttrc imap

$ grep .muttrc imap
grep: imap: No such file or directory

$ grep imap .muttrc
set imap_user=me
set spoolfile=imap://haggis/INBOX
set folder=imap://haggis/INBOX.
set record=imap://haggis/INBOX/Sent


The search phrase must go first because grep doesn't know whether the input is a pipe or a "real" file. Which I understand but don't like.
