Follow-up Comment #4:

I still think setting -E in GREP_OPTIONS is a bad idea.  You said

> I would spend time figuring out a RE at the command prompt only to have it
break when I included it in a script

But then you're making everybody else spend time figure out why your scripts
break for them.  Include the alias in your scripts too.

Nevertheless, grep 2.6 will support -E in egrep and -F in fgrep.



Thank you for the bug report. This bug has been fixed in the
development sources, which can be downloaded using git from
git://git.sv.gnu.org/grep.git
