Uh, that does not make sense.  One does not run `grep' piped into
`find'.  But one _does_ run `find' piped into `grep'.

The name "grep-find" is quite counterintuitive and probably only
chosen because it is in the grep package, and so the "grep-" prefix
somewhat suggested itself.  Not really a good choice in my book, but
removing the existing binding would not be nice, either.

However, I see no merit for adding the alias you suggest here.  What
would the logic behind it be?
