I never, ever use fgrep or egrep and I think it's a bad idea.
Well, that's me told.
When I read your quote of my message, it occurred to me that I done
messed up.
What I meant to say was, "I don't use them, and I think it's a bad idea
*to remove them*". I was (in my head) referring to the original subject
but failed to make that clear.
I still think that scripts really ought to use long-form options, but I
am generally against removing choices unless the alternative it too much
a burden. This case doesn't seem to fit that definition though.
Sorry for the mix-up.
