Isn't it the other way around: Windows wants 'always' (except when it doesn't, see below), while others want 'auto'?
When will `always' not work for the others?
As to when you won't want 'always': it's when Grep is invoked as part pf a pipeline, where it's not the last part, or when the Lisp program that invokes it wants to interpret the results, as opposed to showing them to the user.
I'd want `nil' in that case, right? And I'd have to specify it explicitly anyway, if I want compatibility with Windows.
So, why do we use `auto'?
