|Hi guys!

I downloaded, compiled and tried the latest grep, 2.5.3.

I'd really like this kind of output: (view this mail with fixed-width font please)

----
path1/path2/path3/file.ext: foo bar baz fruu muu koo loo boo poo hello
                           ||koo loo boo poo hello
----

But grep goes:
----
||path1/path2/path3/file.ext: foo bar baz fruu muu koo loo boo poo hello
||koo loo boo poo hello
----

Which is more difficult to read IMO, it would totally rock to have the first kind of output available..
It would place more emphasis on the files.
I guessed the -T parameter would do this, but on my fedora it doesn't work, or did I misunderstand -T ?

So this is either a bug report or a feature request :)

Take care..!
