I would also prefer :bvimgrep for consistency and to signify the
regexp dialect being used; it could be abbreviated as :bv. This keeps
the option of later implementing :bgrep that indeed writes the buffer
to a temp file (if necessary), and runs 'grepprg' over it. (Though the
biggest downside of :vimgrep for me isn't in the regexp dialect, but
its slowness due to loading all files into Vim, something that isn't
an issue when going over Vim's (already loaded) buffers.)
