Follow-up Comment #4, patch #7577 (project grep):

Two people filled different bugs in debian asking for the same behavior from
grep -lc, and, with my user's hat put on, I found the combination of --count
and --files-with-matches clear. grep's man page doesn't say that those options
*only* print matching count *or* file' names, as grep --help tries to say. Man
page either says that those control output options cannot be used together
(Maybe it should?). 

However, in the name of standards, I'd prefer '-c --min-count' to achieve that
behavior. So I agree with you, and this patch shouldn't be considered.

Santiago
