I am working on a rewrite and expansion of the --only-matching test to be
a general testing framework for the gnu options in grep using the current
.sh/.awk/.script/.tests model. Which is better:
1) have all tests in a single .tests file with proper docs in comments to
separate sections
2) have several .tests files so that new tests can be added as new files.
I am hoping to have the patch ready within a few days.
Cheers,
