I tried to use project-find-regexp more often than rgrep,
but unfortunately xref still has a fundamental flaw:

0. emacs -Q
1. M-x project-find-regexp RET regexp RET
2. The output buffer *xref* contains duplicate lines
    when regexp is found on the same line several times,
    each duplicate output line has separate highlighting
    for every regexp occurrence.

I don't know how "fundamental" it is, but indeed, it's somewhat of a drawback. Suggestions for improving it (API change and/or implementation change) are welcome.
