So what you suggest is that the current grep-tree should replace
grep-find/find-grep as the default interface, and the current
grep-find functionality should be selected if a prefix arg is
specified.
That would be ok with me, and I will make the changes if people agree.
This should be done before the release as grep-tree is new in 22.x,
and there are several defcustoms which should be renamed as part of
this rework.

YMMV, but to me that's "completely different".
So I still don't see how to merge find-grep-dired into grep-find.
(a negative arg perhaps? wouldn't the be too obscure?)
I suggest we leave that one alone!
