Hello,
  It might be a nice to have an option to return the column number of the
line that first matchs the regexp from grep.  I know this can be done with
other commands but seems to be very closly related to returning the line
number (I saw the request on google) .  My motivation is the same as the
original posters there, to have emacs more easily jump to matches.  Just my
2cents.  I don't mean to offend anyone.

Thanks,

John Weatherwax
