I can't remember seeing it discussed, but it looks pretty neat. I don't
use lgrep/rgrep myself, but it looks like it'll work with `grep' just
fine, which I do use regularly.
Being in feature freeze, we're not going to integrate it now, and we may
want to tweak the UI a bit, but I like the idea.
It's a bit inconvenient that it relies on GNU grep's match-highlight,
and I wonder what happens with other grep implementations.

PS: a related functionality would be all.el's ability to edit the *grep*
buffer and have the modifications be immediately reflected in the
corresponding buffers.
