Since we're on the subject, is there a way to make Emacs not add "/dev/null"
(UNIX, or "NUL" on Windows) at the end? I have a couple of "specialized"
grep-like commands that I run as the command in M-x grep, and I've adjusted
those scripts to ignore a trailing "/dev/null" argument in order to be
compatible with Emacs. (I would never add "/dev/null" interactively if I were
invoking them.)
Thanks!
