This would also change the meaning of grep -v --max-count=NUM
After looking into this, my proposal was too drastic. So I am attaching a more modest patch that would simply change grep's behavior along the lines requested. Athough this is an incompatible change, I think almost all users who care about it will prefer the new behavior. If there is a problem with it I suppose we could have an option to select the old behavior, but I hope it doesn't come to that.
