But the commands whose bindings you displaced DO support them.
This is a major reason for this bug report (and bug #23428).
The replacement is strictly less powerful. It is essentially
just a `grep' or `find'. (And it depends on an outside program.)

What does that mean? Specify what you mean by "_something_ else".
Clearly you do NOT mean to support the regexps that Emacs supports.

See above. If you cannot replace Emacs regexp power, that's
OK, as long as we keep also the displaced commands that do
provide Emacs regexp power.
And those commands should preferably keep their longstanding
keybindings.
There is _no reason_ that you could not just add your new
commands and give them new keys. This seems to have been a
gratuitous, and if not arrogant, expropriation.
