I don't really care one way or the other, but my reaction is this:

What's wrong with `M-x grep' and so on? Seems easier to remember and nearly as
easy to type. Especially with TAB completion: `M-x lg TAB' (4 chars) vs `M-g r
l' (3 chars). Is the keystroke savings really worth it?

On the other hand (as I've suggested before), it makes sense to have a binding
such as `g' in the *grep* buffer that calls up the last `grep' etc. command
again. Currently, `g' runs `recompile' in *grep*. (Or you could have bindings
`g', `l', `r', and `f' for the various grep flavors, and remember the previous
command of each grep flavor.)

Ignore this, if you feel strongly about it.
