I'm taking the 50,000 foot view. The use of find is an implementation
detail of these two major use cases. Generally speaking, a user either
wants to see grep hits, or file names. So only offer two functions. All
of the other grep commands should be non-interactive implementations.
(These should be post-release changes, by the way. Incorporating
grep-tree into find-grep is an excellent pre-release goal.)
