`grep-compute-defaults' returns different results for variables like
`grep-command'. In my use case, it is either "grep -nH -e " or "grep
-n -e ", depending on the host.

What I have in mind is to reuse the different values of `grep-command'
in `grep-find-template'. Currently, one can only expand <D>, <X>, <F>,
<C> and <R>.

Agreed.
