bug#69929: Can grep -q report matches in incomplete lines?

[jackson]

Neils noted:

>> (BTW, man page says about the -q option "Exit immediately with zero
>> status if any match is found", ...

If I had the master copy of that man page in front of me right now,
I'd change that to say "... if any matching line is found ..."

>> For the time being, I hacked together a tool that does just what I need

Bingo.

Given that our talents and resources are finite, and our various
needs and situations infinite, it's impossible to have general
purpose tools that are ideal for every situation.

We can do the rest, individually.
