What I do is simply M-x rename-buffer to *grep--<its purpose>*.
You can end up with several of them.

One trick I especially like is to, BY HAND, do eg
egrep -in 'regexp' ... >! t.loc
then M-x grep, but then changing the default "grep ..." command
it gives you to "cat t.loc".
You don't have to use grep -- just so long as that t.loc
file LOOKS LIKE it came from a grep -n (with filename at left,
or course, so emacs can know what file(s) you're talking about.)
I really "they" should put this "trick" into the emacs manual --
so simple, and buys so much!
