[Chicken-users] grep should use string-search?

[Alejandro Forero Cuervo]

The manual tells us that grep could be implemented as:

(define (grep regex lst)
  (filter (lambda (x) (string-match regex x)) lst) )

Indeed, (grep "f"  (list "ale" "fore" "cuer"))  returns the empty
list.

Shouldn't  grep use  string-search  instead  of string-match?   I
would be more consistant with what the Unix grep command does:

  echo -e "ale\nfore\ncuer" | grep f

Thanks.

Alejo.
