I'm not going to ask for more features---I've already gotten ten times
more than I asked for. But I think it is a good trade to get the
matches printed as you find them in exchange for the ability to
capture the output as string matrices. A lookfor search can be long,
so in 98.7 out of 100 cases (by my ab initio calculations) the user
would prefer to see the results as they are found over capturing the
output.
